Happy Mother's Day!

I want to wish all my blogging friends that are Mother's and Grandmothers a, "Happy Mother's Day"!

 As I get older I realize more and more the true unshelfish love that a mother has.

 My mother was only 23 when she had 4 children. She came from a family of 11 and my grandfather was an

alcoholic. My mother was determined that her children would have a better life than her.

  She worked so hard, my parents lived on a chicken farm, she had big gardens and would can everything

she could get her hands on so we would have wonderful food for the Winter.

 She taught me and my siblings about sharing, love and caring for other people. She made sure we went to

Sunday school and on Easter, had a new frilly dress and patent leather shoes. He He She would allow me to

have 3 of my school friend spend the night at one time. She was so proud of us when we graduated from highschool.

My mom always did without so that we could have, she is a very private woman. She is an inspriration to me. My mother's love and sacrifice is what helped mold me into the person that I am today!

I would be proud to be half the woman that she is. I love my mom very much and know as her and my dad

are getting older that I won't have them forever, so I cherish each day!

I love you mom and Happy Mother's Day!

New Billy Jacob prints

I am hosting a 200 follower giveaway, so please go to an older post to sign up for that.

And I am a computer dummy, I accidentally erased one comment, sorry Tina, but did get the name written

down to be entered in the drawing.

. Drawing will be Sat. April 30th.

 I have been contacting each person to thank you for entering my giveaway, I try to do this for all comments

But I have noticed whenever I sent the email, it will say sent with errors, so I am not sure what I am doing

wrong and don't even know if you are receiving the messages. So I am sorry if you aren't.

I just recently bought 2 new Billy Jacob prints, I love how they have sayings on the prints.

This one says, "Just like Mamma used to Bake"

This one says, "Hands to work, Hearts to God",
I love these prints with the sayings. Sorry about the glare. Lecia
