Happy Graduation, Michael!

Michael graduated Saturday and received his associates degree in diesel equipment technology. He is currently in Mexico "relaxing" for a week before starting full time employment for the trucking company he has worked for while attending school. Two other boys went to Mexico with him.

Happy Mothers Day!!

Thinking of all the mothers and just want to wish you all a Happy Day!! I enjoy reading the news of all you young mothers and seeing pictures of your families. Just remember how special you are!! I am especially thinking of those who may be experiencing the first Mother's Day without a mother this year. I think this is the time of year I still miss my mother the most. Many times I still wish I could tell her something or ask her a question. We never have our mothers long enough. Aunt Ruth gave Angela and Travis a "mothers" booklet I gave my mom so they could give it back to me. It is very special and I always try to read through it on this day. Several quotes:

"You taught by example, I learned by love." "I am who I am because of who you are." "Now that I have children, I understand the depth of your love." "You gave me your most precious gift: time and attention."

Your children are little for such a short time. Treasure these moments. As they get older, there are more moments to treasure.

Happy Mothers Day!!
