The prompt for Week 45:  "one woman I love"

There are lots of wonderful women in my life, 
but if I could only feature one of them 
the "winner" would have to be my mother—
and . . . today is her 95th birthday!

The prompt for Week 27:  someone you love

The question of a subject for this one was
settled for me easily.  I was spending the
weekend with my mother—and when I opened 
Bella's prompt on Sunday morning, I just 
picked up my camera and said "Smile, please!"
She'll be 94 next March and is still pretty
darn cute, don't you think?

The prompt for Week 16: childhood games

This game is from my mom's
childhood—and she's 93!  Her set of
jacks was one of the things that just had
to be saved when her house was
done in by Hurricane Sandy last year.

She made the bag herself—about 85 years
ago(!) from a Domino's sack (apparently
their sugar came in a cloth sack back then).

Week 29—Holding: Go out and hold something
—long enough to appreciate that special moment 

{Thanks, and great choice, Deb.}

My mom's house was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy 
and my family is focused on holding onto our 
memories of the home we grew up in.

This past weekend we began trying to salvage

what we can.   One of the things I'm hoping to 

save is this 92-year-old baby dress that I

found with some others at the bottom of a trunk.  

Managed to get it dry before mold took over and will 

find a pro to clean it.  Then I'll frame it and 

hang it in whatever Mom's new home turns out to be.

The prompt for Week 28: Celebrate

When I took this shot, everything was in 

place for my mom's 90th-birthday party

(and she wore that crown all night).

BTW, she'll be 93 on her next
birthday, and is still a
force to be reckoned with.
