Reminders

I am still getting caught up from the holidays. It is a comfort to know that many of my fellow bloggers are behind in their blogging also.

I will post more in days to come of my lovely holidays with my family, but wanted to take this post to notice all the reminders I have in my house of dear family and friends. This picture is not in my house but my youngest son's. Over his bed headboard is the longhorns that my dad picked up for him while we were in San Antonio, TX few years back at my nephews wedding. In my house I have a "Don't mess with Texas" coffee mug, lazy susan on my table with Texas on it and other reminders of my dear sister and her family in Texas. I also have my depression glass and quilt that reminds me of my grandmother, a quilt that Dave's mother made us, my boathouse row and fancy lamp that my dear sister got us, plaques in my kitchen that were my mothers, my refrig magnets that remind me of my special trips, and of course at Christmas I have many reminders in homemade ornaments from my grandmother and my children while growing up. I won't take the time to list everything. However, I do love surrounding myself with reminders of those in my life (past and present) that have touched my life. Many of you know how much I enjoy my pictures on display. My great Aunt Pearl also loved her pictures to look at daily. I cherish these reminders for the memories they bring me.
