“A mother is your first friend, your best friend, your forever friend.” – Unknown Today is my mother’s birthday. She’s been gone on up to heaven for a few years now, but I still miss her. I’m thnking that will be always. Mom did live a full life. She married at age 19 and she and Dad almost made it …
Cat’s motto: No matter what you’ve done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it. ~Unknown Those of you who stop by here at my blog place know that I’m a dog person. You could put “dog” up in the search area and no telling how many posts would pop up. Some would pop up for …
