Your pictures made me envious of your families gardening skills. I have no green thumb and kill everything but the hardiest plants. Your pictures were a delight and an inspiration.

My granddaughter likes the peace signs too, she thinks it's a pretzel. She says "I'm going to wear my pretzel shirt today." It's too complicated to try and explain what it really means.#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-59026236585030927112011-07-02T13:34:26.413-06:002011-07-02T13:34:26.413-06:00Yes, a garden is a symbol of love and care.

Not to mention that as they grow taller, I'm growing shorter (slightly, but still!!!). <br /><br />I love being mom to mature children and Grammy to my babies' babies. I can see that you do, too.

You are so like my Auntie Grace who we traveled with. My cousin, Charlotte died suddenly four years ago. I can still hardly believe it. Auntie carried a little bag throughout the trip that had "Char" embroidered on it. I realized then that Auntie keeps everybody else's spirits up, but always keeps Charlotte close with her. They used to always travel together and I guess they still do.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-77505836386183845552011-07-01T00:15:25.496-06:002011-07-01T00:15:25.496-06:00What a sweet special time it must have been to spe...What a sweet special time it must have been to spend with your daughter.
