Beautiful tribute to a wonderful mom and perfect relationship!
I saw a photo of my mom as a teen on horseback on their ranch with the horse heading up the steps towards the kitchen door. I asked my aunt if she'd really ridden the horse into the kitchen,and she said, "Only when the horse was willing."

I found some old negatives my mom had kept. Had them developed and, same thing! She's in what looks like a park somewhere and perched at the top of a slide - all dressed up! With her cousins, I believe.

It's and your mother's are gifts. It's the gift of love love. I loved it all myself.

Well she looks game for anything . Not many Mum's would scramble up and sit on the tree stump,if that's what it is.

Re: Corbin_Dallas
That is the first thing everyone says. I do not even know where this is. It is not a familiar place to me. It definitely was not at her home.

That was the first thing that came to mind......how did she get up there? Very good read.....How many Moms today would be willing to go through all of the steps you described......I remember my own Mom doing the very same processes for each of those chores......
Thanks for sharing.

Maybe having such a beaufiful human being as your mother helped
make you the mother you've been to your amazing children. Wouldn't it be fun to find a pole and a ladder, and get someone to photograph you? You could hang the pictures side by side. Love the idea of a mom singing as she goes about her work.

Re: TAPS
We found this picture after she died. There is no one left that can tell us how she got up there and who took the photo. LOL

What a sweet and touching tribute to your mom. And how did she get up there for the picture? Such a pretty picture. And such a loving mother that you had. Happy Mother Day.
