ain't it the truth.....?

'morning blogettes...

here's a little quote from

my *mother's calendar*

given to me by my son..
david....

for mother's day

1994....

reputation is what men
and women think of us...character is
what GOD and angels
KNOW us -

thomas paine...

ain't it the truth...?

speaking of mother and

children..

here's a nifty difty

copper crown my

daughter...dana...

aka windshine
on etsy....

made for my birthday 

this year....

while you are at etsy...
why don't you take a moment
to check out my
shop too...
it's fun..

love and sunshine in

your hearts today
