I love this photo of my mother. Just steps away from her chair, my brother and I were playing in a sandbox, busy busy busy.I don't know what her thoughts were. Was she bored? Dreaming? Was she wondering why she, a recent college graduate in Chemistry, was now sitting by a sandbox watching two toddlers? Was she simply relaxed, caught in between smiles or words? Was she wishing someone not take her picture?
But there she is. Watching us play. Committed to being our Mom, through all the dull moments and all the sweet ones.
Mom and Brother S., working on a crossword puzzle together.We're just more fun to play with now.

What a charming post -
Happy Mother's Day!
OH!
I wonder too what she was thinking in that picture. I don't have kids of my own (maybe someday) and I guess I am naive in a sense I'm still excited of the "what-is-to-be . . . if and when" :-)
I do commend mother's because it is hard work and I realize the responsibility it must be molding this little child. And still, when we (children) are hard-headed at times, your love never wavers.
Happy Mother's Day G!
And clearly, she is the one instructing on the crossword. I love it. And I love that first photo of her. Why did everyone then have such good legs?
You're so lucky to have her around to enjoy you grown-up kids!
I think your Mother was just glad to sit down!!
She looks a lovely mother!
I wondered the same as I looked at that picture of your mother. What was she thinking? She looks a little more than pensive, I agree.
Love the photographs and love the commentary. I truly believe that crossword puzzles and the like keep an aging brain sharp. Your mother sounds amazing. You and your family are blessed.
Perhaps it was a combination of all of the above? I often feel some of those very same thoughts, all at once.
Happy Mother's Day! I hope it was a good day for you. :)
What a sweet Mother's Day post!!
to add to Woman in a Window's comment-- and nice waistlines too!
Yes, I have to agree with kcinnova, all things all at once causes me to look like that.
Exhaustion, wonder, amazement, guilt, sadness, loss and tender, sweet, fantastic, everlasting love (how did it happen so completely, so entirely and so quickly).
