in the corn. Oh, where is the little boy, that looks after the sheep???...under an afghan, fast asleep...*VBS* My little boy blue in 1979, age 3, sleeping on the family room floor. And all grown up with sons of his own, 2006. His smile would melt anyones heart..*VBS* The big gray and white male cat had wondered to our country home a couple of weeks before. Justin adopted him immediately, and it wasn't hard to tell he had been a house cat and someones pet. This was mid-November, and we were moving across the state to a new job over Thanksgiving. Many years later now,and I don't remember what Justin called him, He went for a 'walk' a few days before
moving day, and we never saw him again. I would happily have moved him along with us...he was such a sweetie.And here is a quilty picture of my sweetie-cat. Any quilt is up for graps as soon as it hits the floor. Betsy gave me this little "Cracker" quilt, quilted with baptist fans, one year for my birthday. I may have shown it before, but after 800 some posts I'm beginning to lose track....LOL Hard to believe, right? LOL...
Good thing I snapped when I did, because...
here's what came next....*VBS* She has no shame about her, just moves right in and that is that for quilt pictures. I had a lovely supper and visit with DD#1 last evening for Mother's Day. She made me a quilt....LOL, in her own special way. I'll share that tomorrow *VBS* And I now have
a third window box for the last railing on my little patio. A couple of ice cream pails of new potting soil to fill it, and some lovely annuals to plant in it...soon! Snapdragons, pansies, wax begonias and some minature dahalias.A call from my oldest son, let me know he would be here tomorrow afternoon for a visit. He's headed to Madison, WI for a business conference next week, and I'm right on the way...hurray! I could count the times I've seen him alone, just the two of us, on one hand(since he married 14 years ago). I love his family dearly, but it's always wonderful to get some one on one time with my kids..*VBS* He's the hardest one to get to spend time with, and I feel very blessed.

Happy Mothers Day, hope you get to at least talk with all your children.That would certainly make any Mothers Day a happy day.
LOVE THAT CAT!!!!!!!!!
Ebony is so like one of my cats -- if its paper or a quilt or anything on the floor, she wants to be on it.... :-)
Love that little cracker quilt. Cute cat pics, too! Enjoy the time with your kids.
Oh Eby you are a darling. And such a precious photo of your son with the visiting cat.
Like so many things, our adult children will never know what a special treat getting alone time with them is until they "get here". Happy mother's day!
Alone time with a son...what a wonderful treat.
Happy Mother's Day Finn.
And thanks for the pics of Ebby.
Darling photo of your son with his cat! Have a wonderful time visiting with your son tomorrow--no matter how much you may love spending time with the entire family, one-on-one time is special. Happy Mother's Day!
That is such a sweet photo of your son and his cat - thank you for sharing :o)
Have a wonderful visit with your son. What a nice present to get for Mother's Day. :-)
Tell me, has Ebby tried helping you sew yet? My George is SUCH a helper kitty. If I'm trying to cut I'm constantly dumping him off the table so I don't cut his tail off! Then when I sew he plops himself behind the machine. Sometimes with his little head propped in the arm watching the fabric go thru the needle. I do watch him carefully to make sure he doesn't take a swipe as I'm sewing and accidently get his paw sewn into my quilt! But so far he's just content to watch. :-)
I, too, was able to snag some alone time with my son. Love the boy/cat picture. And the Cracker Quilt is just too precious.
