~MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND and GRADS..~

Wherever you go and whatever you do...

Some of us will gather..some will take flowers to graves on Monday...and we will honor our fallen hero's. It will be a difficult day for many.



This weekend some of us will celebrate graduations...and that is what my family will be doing. A grandson has just graduated from college and we will all gather on Sunday to congratulate him.

Have a safe Memorial Day weekend!

Love to all,
Mona

  8. Hi Dear Mona! You're not gonna like me anymore ... I ain't got no education! LOL I only finished high school and never even thought of college. But my two children went to college! Yay!
    Now I did notice you've changed your blog dress and I love it! It's so you!
    Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
    Be a sweetie,

  9. Happy To Be...I read your new post it you honored your father and grandfather beautifully! Glad you like my new "dress"..

    Raggedy Girl...I never made it to college either..a couple of child rearing classes..and it was over for me. I was never much for classrooms...but encouraged my children to go.

    bj...thank you so much. I hope your weekend is safe and happy as well.

    English Cottage in Georgia...It is always so nice to hear from you! Have a nice weekend!

    Sheila...rewrote my post. Goodness...I think I came across wrong. I never went to college either..a couple of child rearing course does not a college education make! I feel I made you feel bad and I apologize. I rewrote it..just in case. I was only trying to make the point that more children were going to college now, especially women, than back the fifties.
    Hugs and love..
    Mona

  12. Wow, what beautiful graphics. My parents are taking my children to "Open Cockpit Day" at a museum at a former Air Force base. Hubby and I are staying home for some peace and quiet. Grandparents rock!

  24. Hi Mona,
    Yes, I have been home 2 weeks and I am still catching up with blogging and reading others blogs. Thank you so much for your nice comments on my header....it is from last summer and my front porch basket of purple wave petunias. The basket is not planted as of yet...it is actually a little worse for wear this year. Btw, I love your blog and the beautiful colors you used! I am very envious of your beautiful transferware too. The photos you take are just great. Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

  30. Ok Mona Girl...Just have to comment again...

    I just read your profile AGAIN and I'm in tears. They are good tears, tho! Isn't God faithful? He has blessed you three times with a loving mate and I am in awe of His gift of love and companionship to you.

    Last November my only bro was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. They found it UNEXPECTEDLY when he had pains from gallstones. The cancer was found and his kidney was out in three days. I'd have given up my kidney for him in a split second. When I read had your girl blessed her brother with such a priceless gift it made me smile. Family is everything.

    Ok...enough of my sappy ways...just had to share again.

    xoxoRebecca
