Some of my favorite childhood memories..
Saturdays going to the laundry mat...we always got money to go next door to 7-11 to buy penny candy...on the way home we would go to Burger King or Pizza Hut for lunch
going to a park taking paper...pencils...crayons...a blanket...drawing what we saw...learning to appreciate the world around us...without even knowing it...collecting tadpoles...butterflies...flowers..etc...
every summer you had a load of dirt hauled in for us to play in...we dug...spread...made mud pies...slid down...you name it...by the end of summer that pile was long gone...
having a water fight in the kitchen while we were doing dishes...
watching a scary movie with me and Kim...with the blankets pulled up over our heads...screaming our heads off
letting us have rabbits...dogs...gerbils...turtles..hermit crabs..hamsters...fish...birds...Daisy the duck that lived in the house till she got too big and I had to take her to the duck pond to release
putting up with our music wars...me Rock n Roll...my brother country
sewing my clothes...I didn't appreciate it when I was little..sure missed them when you stopped...
not killing me when I almost ran Bessie (a Lincoln Continental with the long front end) through our garage...showing off for the boy next door...and not killing me because of the boy next door....
Happy Mother's Day Mom....
you were just 15 when you had me....we grew up together...
thank you for all the wonderful live lessons you taught me...
thank you for all the Nanny memories with your Captain and Princess...
thank you for all the memories you are making with our little britches AKA Hotrod...
You had a great inspiration in Nana...you probably didn't know it growing up...
but she shaped you to be the loving Mom and Nanny that you are...
Happy Mother's Day to all my bloggy pals...
some are Moms...
some are Step Moms...
some are Aunts...
some are Daughters...
some are friends...
but if you've ever helped raise a child or animal...
you are a MOM...

And sprinkle the lime like rain,
Forth I wander, forth I must,
And drink of life again."
