Aw....Mondays and Other Life Shares

Rose has a serious "catitude". She has those piercing green eyes and she is very independent. She suffers from what appears to be similar to sinus problems in humans. She hates for me to wipe her nose. But she gets disgusting "booger" nose and she also has a mean left hook! I Have to wipe her nose and run fast! Hard to do with my recent bum knee. She will allow Nick and Rebekah to wipe her nose without incident. Yet she knows when she needs a fresh cold drink of water I am her number one human. I thought I would share this photo of her for Aw....Mondays. Come join the fun.

Everyday has something to be grateful for. Albert Schweitzer was a smart man.

Lucia Vest and George O Blackwell, my hubby's maternal grandparents. They were so young and look at how spiffy they were dressed. I am trying to find information about Grandma Blackwell's infant sister who was born and passed away in the same year. Oh, it is such a sadness to me. How much suffering people did. Trying to make better lives for their further children.

This use to be a bar or tavern as they were called, when I was a kid. The Grove is off of Santa Fe in our hometown and this neighborhood lies close to the banks of the Arkansas River. At one time a girl I attended parochial school with had a grandmother who owned this tavern. The girl was Marty Servo, named after her father who was a prize boxer at one point in his life. I Need to make another road trip home so I could shot some photos of my childhood.

My Sweet's adored his mom. She was the cutest little girl, sharing her chair and a photo with her baby brother Bud.To see these photos makes us both happy. Sharing some of our history is quite exciting and learning so much.

Love is...once applied lasts a lifetime. Always enjoy sharing these sweet love notes.
