June 1...love the sound of that

Today is June first!  When the kids lived at home, at the beginning of each new month, I would wake them with the words, "Happy (whatever month it was) first!".  They would grown and kind of roll their eyes at their silly mama, but I do believe they liked it!.

I would also sing silly songs when we would get into the car..."Buckle up your seatbelt, when you ride in my car..take good care of yourself, you belong to me!".  Again, they would grown and say, MOM!!!  LOL!  Good memories.

I miss my girls depending on me for so many things.  They are grown now, children of their own and I'm sure they are making some of the same memories with their kids that I made with them.  They don't live too close to me anymore, and their daddy and I miss them a lot.  (oh, no!!  Now I have tears streaming down my cheeks.)

So, to love and to memories, may I say "HAPPY JUNE FIRST"!

The Birthday Girl

Sophie is 3 today!

She is looking adoringly up at me with her darling 3 year-old Goldendoodle face!!!  Such a good dog.  Papa is in the background, playing a game on his computer.






She received a big blue teddy bear for her special day.  This photo is the aftermath; poor "Big Blue"!!

She's a good girl, keeps us moving every day and gives us someone to take care of now that the kids are grown and don't live really close anymore.
