Word to Your Mother

Happy Mother's Day, pallies!

May your memories of those days with your mom be sweet
and those things that scarred you for life, well........

may they fade like orange floral chairs.

Me--I'd like to thank the little people for making me who I am today.

Happy Mother's Day! So glad my mom wssn't big on dressing alike. I only remember one outfit all three of us had that matched--it was a Nero pantsuit that had a Chinese look to it.

If the worst memory you have of your childhood is your mother's orange floral chairs you are doing pretty darn good. Sweet pictures, both of them. Happy mother's day to you

Here's to the mothers we are and the kids we screwed up along the way. May they always love us and as much as we will always love them. Cheers.

Happy Mother's Day.

Lin said...

Lola, Natalee, Grace--Right back at ya, pallies!

Karen--Are there ever any "good" matching outfits to be had??? Even my mom was rolling her eyes on this one today.

Vanilla--Snappy dresses, eh?

Daisy--I want to see you and your Mommeh in matching purple hairs!! ;)

Beaded Tail, Kathy, Pricilla--Happy Mom's day to you too!

Ann--What good is being a mom if you don't give the kids something to discuss in therapy??! Happy Day to you too!

Jodi--You aren't doing your job if you don't cause a little distress, right? :) Hope you had a good day, pally.

Catherine--My mom might still have hers if you would like it, Catherine. Hahaha! :) Happy Mom's day to you too.

Nessa--Happy Mother's day to you to, pally! Oh, what I wouldn't give to hold Em like that one more time. She's too big now, though. :(

Mother-daughter dresses would have never happened at my parents' house... mainly because all my mother ever seemed to wear when I was growing up was polyester pant suits. Thank god she didn't make me wear those. Perhaps I should be grateful for small things, LOL!

Hope you have a great Mother's Day!

FishHawk said...

I hope you had a very happy Mother's Day!

Hot Rocks said...

Hope your Mothers Day was fun and relaxing!

Happy Mum's Day Lin :)

The floral thing scares me, Lin.

Lin said...

Janiss--Oh, I had my fair share of pantsuits too, but we didn't have matching ones--THANK GOD! I thought this was bad enough.

Fish--Thanks, pally! I couldn't go for the ride yesterday--we were busy relaxing. Sorry.

Hot Rocks--It was nice. How was yours??? I hope it was good.

Vanilla7--Thanks, pally. It was spent in the yard with flowers and Hobbes. :)

Violet--Our skirts or the chairs???! Perhaps both. :)

Children do shape their mothers, don't they. You start out a selfish, self-centered sort of person and just shed that stuff in learning to care for your children. I loved the mother/child photos.

lifeshighway said...

Oh, I am sorry I missed this yesterday. I hope you had a beautiful day.

Avacado green scarred me for life.

VetTech said...

Great Mother's day photos...hope it was happy :-)

Jennifer MacNeill-Traylor said...

Love those pics!! Hope you had a wonderful day:)

Lin said...

Marilynne--How right you are! It's a lovely transformation. :)

Highway--I don't think we had avocado, but we sure had orange! No wonder I have an orange stripey cat. :)

VetTech--Welcome, new pally! It was very nice, thank you. :) I hope the orange doesn't scare you off.

Jennifer--Oh, there's more where that came from! LOL! Had a great day--hope you did too.

Casey said...

Oh my goodness Lin, you were a cutie. You still are. Happy belated Mother's Day, hope yours was a great one!
