Mother's Day Tribute

I have the best mom.  I have heard people say this multiple times in the past 48 hours or so.  But, it's true!!  I do have the best mom. . .for me!  I could put hundreds of pictures on here, but this will have to do for now.
Although this is a pic of Mommy and my sister, I LOVE MOM'S EXPRESSION!!!  I think it's one of my favorite pics of her.
I love the heritage of faith that has been passed down to me from generation to generation.
I love that she's a great auntie. . .
. . .whether the kids are her blood or not.  
(BTW, in all the history of mom's babysitting skills, do you know that BOYS have been the majority of the ones in her care??  So, she got her sons. . .they were just all adopted!!)
I love her Canadian-ness.  (Is that even a word??  Oh, and this picture was taken in Banff)
I love her passing her knowledge down to my sister, too, who is now a mother of 3 lovies
I love that you can always find her serving in some capacity. . .even if it means attacking a pan of nanaimo bars!
I love the humor she inherited, too, and her love and care for her own mom and dad.
I love her love of flowers and gardening. . .and I wish some of that love would rub off on me!!  YIKES!!
I have loved growing up watching her interact with her sister in Germany
Most of all, I love the love she and dad share.  It's sometimes messy, but it endures.
Thanks for your love and support for me, Mutter.  Ich hab' dich lieb.

Feeling Like an Adult

I have been living with garage sale and "pieces-that-come-in-a-box" furniture since I can remember. I finally jumped off the high dive, joined the adult population and purchased this bedroom set. 
 I LOVE IT!!!! 
 What do you think??
