Rosie is a long time friend and fellow St. Lawrence (our church and parochial school where our kids all went to learn not to be brats) gal but I have to MISS my beautiful Rosie now because she moved to the East side of town.... and it's a long drive, and she likes to sleep in on Sundays I hear.... :)<br /><br />Rosie, I'm so glad you commented, my friend!!!! And I do miss you, every single choir practice and Sunday Mass.

I think when we start our graveside garden project this year, it will be lots of fun (is that a BAD word for a graveyard project???) for Mom and me. We both love gardening and this sweet graveyard allows folks to "dress" their gravesites any way they want as long as it's tasteful... I've gotten a few wonderful story ideas in this cemetery, just eyeing up what people have done to pay their respects to lost loved ones.Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-78302875101467932552013-04-12T04:58:26.441-04:002013-04-12T04:58:26.441-04:00Donna.... you're welcome!

Agree with Kav, too--all of this should go in a book, with the hero coming in in the midst of it all. Oh, I can picture it now--the images brought to life by Ruth Logan Herne...! :D<br /><br />Guess I should just embrace the dog who is barking-howling out in the sleet and the 20-month-old grandson who is howling, too. Not the crying kind of howling either; he likes to howl like a dog.<br /><br />Mothers-in-law who can laugh during chaos--gotta love 'em! :)Melanie Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323878496621771920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-50242864581562350042013-04-11T09:21:29.052-04:002013-04-11T09:21:29.052-04:00Laughing through tears....

Wonder what the hero would think if that was the outcome of his first invite for a home-made meal by the heroine? LOL. Love your sense of humour -- and definitely bask in the blessings around you...even on those kinds of days!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
