Happy Easter everyone!!!!!!!! Just remembering a couple of things from when I was a child... we always got new easter dresses.. one time Grandma D even got Connie & I Spring coats to wear... the boys got suits and hats to wear.. I thought I had a picture of that , but I don't. We always went to church, then had a big Ham dinner afterwards. I also remember , we would go to a Good Friday Service on Friday... all the stores would close for two hours in Midland so people could go to their church for Good Friday Service.. Lots of good memories... If you have been to my house or watched my BLOG at all you know I love to decorate my house for the holidays... and now that I have a nice yard I love to decorate outside.... We all know it's not about Easter baskets, decorating and Good Easter Ham.. It's about his death and that he rose from the grave ... FOR US... We are so busy sometimes at work and at play getting ready... but we need to stop for a minute and remember what he did for us...
I'm a wife of the BEST the man in the world, he my friend, my lover, and my
partner, I am a mother of three of the BEST grown children--the BEST son and two BEAUTIFUL daughters... also have a the BEST daughter in law, and a GREAT son in law. Two grandsons and three granddaughters, they call me granny--- they are the BEST!!!!!!!!!
I'm from a small town, we actually grew up in the country, large family,
church, gardens to work in, and good home cookin. I am the oldest of seven
children. I have two beautiful sisters
and four great brothers. we are all in different states, so it is had to get us all together. Mom still lives in the house I grew up in... She is the BEST!!!!!!!! Miss my Dad more than anything, He is always on my mind, he was my HERO... the BEST DAD in the world.
The best things in life are not material things... lord knows we never had much.... they are my husband, children & grandchildren.... MY FAMILY ... THE BEST
