Some days you remember with such clarity as they are imprinted on your heart forever. The day my mother died is one of those days. One moment I was chatting with her on the phone and it seems like the next I was at the Doctor’s for my final pre-natal check and he was telling me my Mother had died. Of course I didn’t believe it. Harold came to pick me up and take me to Dad’s where I had to put on my big girl panties and help with funeral arrangements. Everyday since I’ve remembered my mother’s life. The joy she brought with just her smile. There will always be a small part of me missing.

My favorite day. March forth…….
No, really, it’s Pancake Day. Tomorrow is the beginning of Lent for Christians. A time of “giving up” and reflection. Today we feast on whatever’s left in the cupboard. PANCAKES ❤
For some it’s Mardi Gras time…..
The picture I choose for today’s quote is one of my grandson playing soccer from 2023. He loves the sport. But as the quote from Knute Rockne says : If winning isn’t everything why keep the score?
Mine’s better. But here’s today’s AI image:
