"Happy Mother's Day".... and my "Vintage Swap Brooch Picture"....

Happy Mother's Day to All
My Dear Friends!!


I hope your Mother's Day was
a lovely one with Love and Laughter
and Family.

My husband took me to lunch
at the Olive Garden...Yummy!!

We also took a walk through
"Bulloch Hall" in Roswell after
lunch and took some pictures
in the lovely Garden area.
Bulloch Hall was once home
to Theodore Rosevelt's
mother "Mittie". A very
beautiful mansion dating
back 172 years ago.

Here is the Gorgeous Brooch
that I am wearing from
my swap partner Kathy.
Our theme for May was
to buy a vintage brooch
for our swap partner
and to wear it on Mother's
Day and post a picture of it.
Isn't it just stunning??


Love You All!!

Blessings

Susan

    You and your photo's are stunning. So glad you are happy with your brooch. My husband took me to the Olive Garden yesterday for my Mothers Day dinner. I'll have to get a picture of me wearing the lovely brooch you gave me. Happy Mothers day.

    I agree! She's a jewel!

    It was terrific to spend time together with my lovely Mrs. in such a beautiful place. She is always wonderful to be with, talk with and laugh with. I have always said the reason she married me is for the "Entertainment Value!" HA! We always seem to be entertaining to each other, but much better than entertaining, I think we really connect to a depth many people rarely find. If someone knows me and understands me, it is Susan. I like to think it works the other way too!

    I love you Sweetheart. You're talents are enormous. Your heart more beautiful and larger still!

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
