HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO A WONDERFUL MOTHER

I am stopping by to wish you a beautiful Pink Saturday and a Happy Mother's Day! I hope you will join me in wishing Beverly a wonderful weekend and thank her for hosting with us each week. Then check out the weekly featured blogger. I am so impressed with the talented people I find over here and I am always overjoyed to make a new friend. You are the very best. Don't ever forget it. Blogger is giving me a fit today so I am unable to post a lot of my photos. I am going to share a pink bouquet with each one of you and some favorite quotes about mothers. Tomorrow I am hopeful blogger will be working properly and allow me to post my photos. I have one more request. Nick runs in the Last Chance meet tomorrow. Track and field is so different from cross country. I wish Nick peace while running and pray he remains healthy. Then he can enjoy his summer with his cross country team preparing for the Fall 2011 season. There are approximately 30,000 runners in the state of Colorado. Last week Nick was ranked 121. In order to earn a spot at the State Meet they take all of your times that you ran individually at all your meets and total them then determine the top 18 positions to attend the State Meet. I just pray the runners will be healthy tomorrow as we are expecting a warmer day. Enjoy these quotes and smell the sweetness in this pink rose bouquet.
