Shades of blue and pink

                                  I rarely get a little down these days , but today I feel a little blue . I have been cleaning out my late mother's house to get ready for some renters . I had no idea it would hit me this way , but there it is . Taking out the last of  her house was a sad in a way for my daughter and I , we were so close to mama . Her yard once was full of beautiful flowers and trees , fragrant and colorful they were always uplifting . We would sit in the carport and swing and talk about all kinds of things . The swing is still there , I may leave it . The renters are a young mother with small children . I like the thought of youngsters laughing and playing there again , mama would be smiling down on that one ! So , because of my blues I want to post pictures of pink , because that is my happy color and it always works . God bless your day , xxoo Suz

Things

                                           It has been a great Saturday , I have been milling around the house , major puttering going on . I have been trying to make all my mom's things work in with mine and make it Suzanne's . It is hard work because of so much emotion tied to things . It's like giving away Mama , I know thats not right but it is what it is . But lately I have come to accept that she is not in these things , not at all . She is in the daylilies that she gave me that are blooming up a storm , she is in the way I love my home and love to play house , she is in my love for family and to do the right thing , she is in the way that I have learned to love the Lord with all my heart . So , today I started getting rid of just " things " and I thank the Lord above for the mama that I had and will see again one day . These are my milling around pics . God bless, Suz

 

Life in the fast lane

I hope everyone who reads this blog had a wonderful mother' s day and is enjoying the fine weather . It has been busy the past couple of weeks and it feels good to be back . I had to buy a car last week , my 19 year old Subaru finally started having issues and I traded it in , it only had 80,000 miles on it, ( yes I drive like a grandma ) I will miss it . My mom and I went together to look at it and test drive it many years ago . We were tootling along and realized there was no gas so we had to pool some pennies together and bought like $ 1.00 worth of gas ! These days it wouldn't get you out of the gas station !  Mother's day was really sweet , Lu brought over sweetheart roses in a vintage vase and Nathan had made a beautiful card . Sweet hubby fixed me hamburgers on the grill ( yummy ) and watched chick flicks with me .

Needless to say it was a very relaxing day . Reminder to self ...... get back on hormones !  Greetings to my sweet friend Margie who checked in with my blog . Let me tell you about her , Margie is one  of the happiest people I know and her joy is infectious . Today at work she brought me some gorgeous hydrangeas out of her yard and also some antique frames that I will paint on the glass . And this lady loves the Lord with all of her heart . You know them when you see them , they kinda radiate , and I'm not talking power surges ! The Holy Spirit fill them up and they pour out . I thank God above for fellow brothers and sisters . Anyway I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week- end and God bless you . xxoo Suz
