Today Our Mom would have been 73! we celebrated with a Tea Party!



My sister far left, Two of my daughters in the middle.
My little poppie in the front 
and me far right!

Our Mom would have been only 73 today!
But she was only 71, when she went Home.

My sister put on a tea party! In honor of our Mom.
The girls and my sister ended up having the same colored hats.
Not planned!
They all looked fabulous like right out of
Downtown Abbey

Yours truly struggled with rushing after work
 this picture is in Sepia...because it makes me blend better.
It was kind of like awkward Calamity Jane meets downtown Abbey :)


My sister Had our Mom's Royal Albert China.
There were chocolate covered strawberries, eclairs and scones.
mini cupcakes and grapes
apple turn overs
and of course Tea!

   
These 3 were just beautiful! 
we shared memories...


The fun ones's
 the one's that make us laugh!

  
Our Mom's Dutch humor would make anyone laugh!


we laughed and chatted like all
girls do at tea parties...


we tried the sweets and the tea's :)


We honored this woman,
who left us soon, sooner then any of us ever had comprehended
and yes, WE MISSED HER!
And spoke of some of the sad times...


We love you Mom! we miss you. 
Sometimes I am still shocked you are gone...
sometimes I roam around and I don't think of it much...
(From April 2013-March 2014 was my mourning and struggle)
and then it hits me...
Today was one of those days!
You are loved and missed by all your kids and grandchildren and great grands
and friends and other family...
ALWAYS!

Today we all wanted to visit with you...
that will never change
Happy Birthday in Heaven Mom!
I LOVE YOU!

When you say nothing at all....

I stumbled across this song...
I had not heard it in awhile,
I use to get tears when I would
hear it.
Because it is what I believe
love is!
I just felt like sharring it today. 


May your day be filled
with beautiful moments!

A little Easter wish from Me to You!


If we but had the eyes to see
God's face in every cloud,...




(AN EASTER PROMISE)


...If we but had the ears to hear
His voice above the crowd,
If we could feel His gentle touch
In ever Springtime breeze
And find a haven in His arms
'Neath sheltering, leafy trees...
If we could just lift up our hearts
Like flowers to the sun
And trust His Easter Promise
And pray, "thy will be done"
We;d find the peace we're seeking,
The kind no man can give,
The peace that comes from knowing

He Died So We Might Live!

 I stumbled across these Easter Poems
By 
Helen Steiner rice
and at this moment I just couldnt say it better.

THE MIRACLES OF EASTER

The sleeping earth awakens,
The robins start to sing,
The flowers open wide their eyes
To tell us it is spring.
The bleakness of the winter
Is melted by the sun,
The tree that looked so stark and dead
Becomes a living one...
These MIRACLES of EASTER,
Wrought with divne perfection,
Are the blessed reassurance
Of our Saviour's Resurrection.

May your easter be filled
with love and family and
the "feeling' on new beginnings...


wishing you all Joy
at this Easter time :)
