My heart is full. A weekend to celebrate with my family, everyone together again. Alex graduates from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business on Saturday morning. She has planned a special Baccalaureate Mass for those seniors interested on Friday evening with a spaghetti dinner at the church afterward. Memories of my childhood coming up fast and furious. Alex will be the first of my parents 17 grandchildren to graduate from college. My parents would have been so proud. I am so proud of her!
Well, off to buy some graduation dresses to bring with us this afternoon. Seems she didn't have time to find just the right one. Perhaps I will have more luck!
Happy Mothers Day to all!
It just makes my heart sing every time I read your words about your family! And a daughter not only trusting a mother's taste, but actually asking you to do it, seems like a rarity. It speaks volumes of who you are! Have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to you Mrs. Botsford! Have a fabulous weekend... things are really ramping up for you right now, so let's see what we can get on the calendar to reschedule a weekend for me to come down.
Talk to you soon.... xoxox

Oh my gosh . . . I haven't even been through a high school graduation yet. Can't imagine college graduation. Have a lovely, lovely (memory filled) weekend and celebrate the gift that is Alex.

Beautiful and lovely, your collage is... congratulations on your daughters graduation from college. I found the whole experience to be so moving when my daughter graduated. How special and sweet this time must be for all of you... Roxanne
