It's All About the Moms

It is a day to reflect on who brought each one of us here to this tree. For some we can talk directly to those Moms, for others we have the memories.

The last few days here have been rainy type ones. Sometimes that is just right because it matches the mood for some reason.

Above are just "some of the Mom's" from our tree. There are many more that are not pictured here and we'll try to include them in another collage at a later date.

It is amazing to see just how many photos that have been accumulated over the years and now that there is "digital" photography -- watch out in the future as space management and organization becomes critical.

We have some new reading material for the coming weeks (maybe take a break from our current read on Sinatra . . .) AND we have some new viewing material that is pleasing to us.

The photos on the bottom are of Dino at 10 weeks and on the day we got him in 2011 -- he has hardly changed, well in spirit that is. He weighs about 70 pounds more than those first pictures.

Our menu for tonight's dinner includes one boneless center-cut pork loin roast, a heaping bowl of mashed potatoes and a generous portion of steamed snow peas. I'm hungry already.

The week has also been filled with searching in the branches, participating in online webinars and watching the finale episode of "Who Do You Think You Are". And we did watch the Giants win and lose some.

That's a bit of our week, we wish you a "Happy Mother's Day"! See you all "in a few".
