With Mother's Day, just around the corner I thought it would be a good time to honor our Mom's. I'd like to honor mine with pictures. Obviously I haven't taken them all, but wanted to post them just the same, as a small tribute to her life with us.

| Marguerite with her sister Eileen. This is one of the earliest photographs I have of my Mom. |
 |
| Taken about 1946, when Mom was a young woman. |
 |
| I wish I could zoom in on the date on that licence plate to see the year.(About 1947) |
 |
| Mom and Dad on their Wedding Day in April 1947 That's her sister, Eileen (from the other photo, with her), plus twin younger sisters. |
 |
| Getting ready to go for a day in the big city! |
 |
| Now a young Mom with two children. (I'm the baby here) |
 |
| Now with four children and living in the city. We spent a lot of Sunday afternoons in this park, often with a picnic lunch! |
 |
| When I think of my Mom during my school years, this was a familiar scene for me when I came home. Mom was ironing clothes and usually singing along to a country song on the radio, and there was often a cake baking in the oven. |
 |
| Mom and Dad about 1960. We'd been on a picnic, but Mom and Dad always had time for each other. |
 |
| Mom and Dad posing, where she spent many hours carefully planting, weeding and caring for with love, in front of her beautiful rock garden. |
 |
| Mom & Dad with four of the grandchildren. (1975) |
 |
Mom & Dad with their own five grown children.(1977) |
 |
| Mom & Dad, on our front steps in 1967 |
 |
| Mom in 2004 with two of her great grandchildren. |
 |
| A typical pose of Mom's, with her cup of tea, chatting with family and friends or watching a game show on television. Sadly Mom died in January of 2005, but her memory, some of her traits, dreams and idiosyncracies live on in her daughters, granddaughters and even a few of the great granddaughters. "Happy Mother's Day" to all Mother's both in this world and in Heaven! |
