I think it is time my mother got some face time on the blog! She is really a remarkable and beautiful woman. It has been a difficult summer for her, discovering her diabetes now requires medicine, giving up sugar and potatoes, pasta, and rice (that alone would send me over the edge!), and her worries over every little thing with my father! I really don't know how she keeps it all together. Having company in my home for two to three months each summer would probably make me very cranky! So I want to give her some props today! Thank you Mom for smiling when we come to the ranch and really making us feel like you want us there. Thank you for taking such good care of our father. Not one of your daughters could ever come close to your example of love, kindness and service. Thank you for teaching me how to be a wife and mother. Thank you for teaching my children (Tod especially) how to make a bed:) Thank you for fun visits at night with popcorn and otter pops. Thank you for millions of baby blankets, and now big girl blankets! Thank you for always being there, ready to share, help, lift and love! Thank you for being my MOTHER! I LOVE YOU!

i'm with you susan -- i don't think grams gets 1/4 of the props she should for all she does. AND - perfect pics -- as a kid i LOVED the days grams would come home from the salon. i thought she was so glamorous :)
I'm am with you on all of your 3 most recent posts. I love you and thank you for sharing your feelings. We need to come and see you soon!
FYI - Stan has brought up your mom several times in the past as "a beautiful older woman". (He had a crush on her when he was in high school!) And, my sister, Lisa and I always thought you and Rhonda (and as I can see from your pictures, your daughters too) are so "naturally pretty". You have great genes!
