SNAPSHOTS FROM MOTHER'S DAY, 2016

God has blessed me with a terrific husband, two amazing daughters, two wonderful sons-in-law, and three extraordinary grandchildren

Daughter Holly with her daughter Shelby and son Elijah

Daughter Kelly with her son Knox (hubby Kerry had to work today)

Me and my girls ~ I know, we could be identical triplets, right? {Just kidding}

Kelly brought D.Q. Treatzza Pizzas ~ M&M and Heath ~ scrumpdillyicious!

Holly gave me a way cool rocking chair ~ great for porch sitting and reading

So comfy!

Kelly gave me a gorgeous hydrangea ~ the picture doesn't do it justice ~ I'd love to leave it on my porch, sit in my rocker, and rock and stare at it all day

I enjoyed Mother's Day with my peeps. They always go out of their way to make me feel special. Thanks so much, dear daughters! The two of you are wonderful moms. I love you so much!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Neil and daughters Kelly and Holly ~ Happy Father’s Day! Thanks for being such a great pa and grandpa!

Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes.  ~Gloria Naylor
This is probably my favorite picture of me and my dad. He passed away March 18, 1999. He was so quiet and mostly patient and I’ll always love him for being the spiritual man he was all his life which still has a huge impact on my life now. Thanks, Pop! Love you and miss you!
