A tree in the park ...

The words are not mine... I have a fantastic friend who will write about pictures I lay out ... Makes my heart smile .. Thank you! A Tree in a Park A mother’s role Is that of a large oak To stand tall Sturdy in the storm Provide shelter from a spring rain And shade from a summer sun. But like a maple Mothers must always remain sturdy Grow deep roots For a solid foundation From which her family Like branches can reach. And like giant spruce Mothers provide a home Nests from which her children Can be nourished Made safe and Allowed to grow. Yet like a single pine Rising high in neighborhood park A mother cannot follow But must wait for her children To return When they’ve taken flight. So we must look upon mothers With both humility and pride For we could not be where we are Without them. Their love And their plight.

The greatest revenge is HAPPINESS..... 365-88

march 29 The best thing we could have done..  was to pack up the car & get out of town.. & that is what we did... The greatest revenge is HAPPINESS.. and we were determined to have a FANTASTIC time.. no way I was going to let - some mean.. turd.. ruin our time.. NO WAY... I traveled to Prague as a backpacking college student.. and LOVED the city.. I couldn't wait to bring my children here... if I could have my way.. I would take my children to all of my favorite cities... so they will always remember their first visit was with ME.. :-)  & Prague at Easter was fantastic..  

Hello Prague! Here we come 365-87

march 28 Hello PRAGUE... here we come.. Thank goodness my children are 1/2 TEXAN.. and are used to CRAZY,LONG ROAD TRIPS! (as a child... it used to take us a good 12 hours just to get out of Texas..) could gobble this little one up...  L O V E.. after 16 hours.. (with an overnight in Denmark.. 1/2 way) we arrived.. Hilton - Prague..

march 27 After Dane was attacked.. I was pretty sure that our Easter vacation was RUINED.. thanks a lot - you big jerk. bully.. but after a weekend of being in the dumps.. I decided to just screw it. if the Dr. thought it OK.. we would load the kids in the car & head somewhere FANTASTIC. Dr. said Dane'sleg was healing nicely... & we should enjoy the Easter holiday.. :-) WOOO HOO... NO - ONE- can throw together a last min. road trip like me :-) We threw the kiddos in the car... and decided to head to PRAGUE for a much needed break. yes.. one of the totally cool things about living in Europe.. being able to hop in the car & just go to Prague.. or Paris... or...  heading through Sweden as the sunsets...

Shoes by the front door...

Shoes By the Door Amid the mess And the stress The calls and the shows I'm reminded Lord Despite it all I'm truly blessed So for evermore Dear Lord This shall be my prayer To be loved And for kids shoes to be lined up Aside the front door. (thank you to my fabulous friend MW- for the wonderful words to my photos..)
