Happy Mother's day, C , and to all the rest of my NOTROT....

friends.
I am truly blessed that my 91 years young mother is
on her way up here to see her children, grandkids, great grandkids.
grand dogs and others in extended family.
Still knows everyone, and how they all fit together.
Still plays a mean game of bridge and poker and gets out
regularly.
Starting to repeat herself a bit , but, hey, so do I.

Im sorry to hear that Joe. Today is hard for me also because I lost my 13 year old daughter two years ago. One thing Joe that keeps me going is that I know I will soon be with her again. And know that she is watching over me always. Especially on Mothers Day. I can feel her everywhere.
