WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED..HERE SHE IS. GOING TO BE 97 AND POSING FOR HER EASTER PICTURE...THATS GERI, GEORGIE (GERI'S MOM)..ME..AND MOM!
I DECIDED SHE NEEDED AN EASTER OUTFIT..SO NEW DRESS, SHOES, SOCKS AND HAT..AND SHE KNEW..KNEW..IT WAS EASTER!! I FIGURED ...HOW MANY TIMES DID HER AND DAD DRESS 4 CHILDREN WITH NEW CLOTHES AT EASTER..EXPENSE WASN'T THE ISSUE...IT WAS ALSO OUR SUMMER CHURCH WARDROBE..BUT THEY ALWAYS MANAGED THIS EXPENSIVE AFFAIR..AND I JUST DECIDED IT WAS HER TURN!!! EVEN TOOK HER FRIDAY TO GET HER HAIR DONE..CAR RIDE..SIT AT SALON..AND SHE WAS ALL DOLLED UP!!! SHE EVEN FELT LIKE IT..SAID ' I FEEL LIKE A NEW WOMAN'. GOOD MOM.
THIS WAS THE BEAUTIFUL PLACE SETTING GERI DESIGNED FOR OUR EASTER DINNER..JUST SOOOO PRETTY..SO FESTIVE..SO ARTISTIC..WE LOVED IT!! GERI HAS MANY TALENTS!!!
AND MOM IN HER EASTER BONNET. FIGURED WITH TEMPS GOING TO 95 AND BEING OUTSIDE AT JOHNNYS AROUND THE POOL SHE NEEDED COVERAGE. SHE SAW IT HANGING IN HER ROOM FOR A WEEK AND COULD NOT WAIT TO WEAR IT!!
MEANWHILE..BACK AT THE RANCH..ABBIE SAYS..I JUST STAYED HOME. WAY TOO MUCH TROUBLE AND ACTIVITY FOR ME...I HAD THE BEST SEAT WHIL THEY WERE GONE!
AND
THIS IS OUR LITLE NEIGHBOR ..BROOKLYN SHARING A MOMENT WITH MOM..WE GAVE HER SOME ITEMS FROM THE STUDIO THAT WE DIDNT' NEED AND THE CHILDREN ARE SO FRIENDLY AND NICE TO MOM. THEY WALK BY AND SAY ' HI MOLLIE'...SHE LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN. WE GO NEXT DOOR AND WATCH THEM WORK OUT FOR THERE TUMBLING LESSON..AND MOM CLAPS AND CLAPS. ITS AMAZING..THAT SHE UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. SOMETIMES SHE JUST SITS LOOKS OUT THE WINDOW..SAYS ' I CAN'T SEE'..AND THEN..TAKE HER NEXT DOOR TO THEIR GARAGE WHERE THEY WORKOUT AND SHE IS LAUGHING AND CLAPPING!!
THESE ARE LONG DAYS FOR MOM. WE TRY TO KEEP HER BUSY..WILL SEND SOME PICTURES OF HER EMPTYING DISHWASHER, FOLDING CLOTHES ETC...NEXT TIME!!!!
