When I was in elementary school, I made a card for Mom, and I’ve always remembered the verse. I thought it would be especially fitting to post it today, which would have been her ninety-third birthday.
In all the world there is no other
To take the place of you,
Dear Mother…
Seriously, I do. I can, for the most part, pass up cake, pie, well maybe not pie, or cake, but I can pass up chips, ice cream and candy, but I have absolutely no willpower when it comes to crackers. Gimme’ a sleeve and the entire thing somehow vanishes!
I think it’s genetic, my mother adored crackers, Zesta’s were always in the house, and many nights she had crackers and milk for a nighttime snack. My boys fell on the cracker bandwagon at an early age, John especially, has a severe addiction. And I’m starting to wonder if my little Granddaughter has fallen prey as well. Give her a bag of Cheez-Its and she inhales them. But then her sweet little Mama is a salt-aholic, so the poor little thing doesn’t really have a chance.
And my cracker of choice – well, I do love Cheez-Its as well, but I’m also a fan of Veggie Thins, Wheat Thins, Ritz and Club. In other words, I’m not really picky, I like them all. Since I have no willpower, I seldom buy them, but hubby is always dragging them into the house, and he doesn’t even like crackers! I know he’s being nice to me, but I’m thinking I would rather have flowers. He’s been bringing me Snickers, too, but I froze those things, maybe I need to put the crackers in the freezer, too! I just don’t know why I can’t resist them, what is it about those damn crackers anyway!
Meet Miley, my friend Diane’s new pup, who just happens to be my Mollie’s granddaughter. Isn’t she the cutest little dog! I met her a couple of weeks ago, and was just enchanted. There is just nothing better than a new pup, even better when it’s a Yorkie! Yeah, I know, I’m really prejudiced, but Yorkie’s are God’s special creatures, in my opinion, they are just wonderful little dogs…
There is just something adorable about old men and a little girl with piggies. Lindsay and Abby visited her family in Washington State last week and Lindsay snapped this picture of Miss A. With her great uncle and Grandpa.
