Happy Birthday Mom!

I made this for my mom many years ago, it was on a sweatshirt. After she passed I cut it off and framed it.
 







The last two pictures were taken at The Nelson Art Gallery in the late 50's.

I miss my mom but I'm thankful for the years I had with her.

Snowmen

Christmas decorations are put up and the snowmen are out. I'm hoping this brings some snow! We have been ripped off on our snow in the last few years.

Happy New Year!

We did what we usually always do on New Year's Eve stayed home, ate appetizers, played games and put a puzzle together.

On New Year's day we spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa's eating KC Strip and boiled shrimp with all the fixings. I took my strawberry pretzel jello salad, I use gluten free pretzels. Yum!
After dinner we played cards and had a good time.

Happy New Year!
