Mississippi Moon - Keep on shining on me.....

Happy Mother's Day; Happy Birthday, Adele; Happy Birthday, Eli -- and Happy Birthday to ALL of us (so far this year) -- seemed to be the theme of our recent trip to MS!! We had a great celebration and "banquet" almost every day!! We are SO blessed with a wonderful family -- full of strong personalities -- as well as some really interesting characters :-) We certainly do NOT agree on everything - but we do "agree to disagree" so to speak -- we love each other tremendously -- and never hesitate to rally around each other in time of need -- and no matter what is going on with everybody, whenever there is an occasion to gather at Mother's home -- you can count on almost 100% participation!! Our Mom makes every effort -- and always goes "above and beyond" to make it happen -- she is most definitely the Matriarch of this great big group!! One of the most valuable things she has taught us is -- to give -- to the point of giving you "the shirt off our backs." A quick example, she took us to the airport when we were heading back to S.A. and I admired the earrings she was wearing, she took them off immediately and INSISTED that I take them -- Thanks, Mom!! -- for EVERYTHING!!!
