February 26th 2013......Oh Happy Day

                                    Happy 21st Birthday Jacob Christian……..Today is my Son Jacobs 21st Birthday………This is not just any Birthday…….This Birthday marks a MILESTONE……..at the young age of 4 weeks…….Jacob was diagnosed with a liver disease called ” Biliary Atresia ” at 6 weeks old he underwent a ” Kasai ” procedure at Children’s Hospital San Diego,this surgery was not a cure……but a bridging technique……that would give his body time to grow & eventually prepare him for a liver transplant……..so on November 17th 1994…….that time came…….A family from Las Vegas……gifted & blessed our son with their  late sons organ……which we are forever grateful…….Life has not been a easy road for Jacob……many many hospital stays……many close calls……last rites……may trials & tribulations…….but through it all Jesus was with him every step of the way……holding his hands & ours……..many prayers & hands laid upon him………..Jesus has showed HIS GRACE upon Jacob……..So today February 26th 2013……We not one wish you a Happy Birthday…..We Salute you son…….For your determination & courage through this all……..Keep Fighting………..God is on your side……..We Love You Forever……For you are our Sonshine <

Good Old Fashion Living

My Energy Free Dryer…….Growing up as a child on the East Coast……we never had a gas dryer…..this is how we did it……actually I never had a gas dryer…..until my first child was born……before that it was the laundromat on Saturday mornings……Now that I am older & more appreciative of life…..and conserving energy…….if the weather is nice…..some of my laundry goes on my clothesline……in retrospect I never heard my dear Mother,Elizabeth complain..about hanging clothes on the clothesline…..or in our indoor pantry on cold winter days…..which back East that is all winter…..it was just a way of life back then……I can still picture her at the kitchen sink…..humming a tune & washing the dishes…she was our dishwasher….our dryer….this brings tears to my eyes..now as a adult….with all the modern appliances I have…..but in honor of all you done for our Family….with never a complaint…..Mommy I Love You Forever…..P.S. Do they have clotheslines in Heaven……..Love Your Daughter…..Little Maggie <3

Monday Morning Thoughts


Monday Monday So Good To Me.....Californian Dreamin Oh Such A Spring Day.....Yes the day after Sunday...the 2nd day of the week & a start of a new week for many....back to work,school & reality.A new day , a day full of Sonshine....His Love,His Presence,His Timing. As many of you know that yesterday May 12,2013 was Mothers Day...A day full of laughter,love & Family time. I was the Queen For A Day.....hey I am not complaining....I'll take it....to me it was not only a Hallmark day,it was so much more, a day where I reflected about the Mother I was blessed to have for 18 years & being a Mother,Mommy,Mom & myself put it all in perspective .....I so enjoy being a Mommy....my calling in life...not only to be a Mommy to 6 thoughtful & unique individuals .....yes 4 sons & 2 daughters....I was also called to be a Pre K teacher for many years.....also a Sunday school teacher....a Mother figure to many of my childrens friends & a Gramma,GG,Grammy & a Nana....To say Motherhood is a job is indeed a understatement....but a ultimate Blessing....One that I will cherish forever.To me I have received the ultimate gift....something that $$$$ cannot buy. So today & everyday.....Smile,Be Blessed & Be Fed <3
