Lupins, when you see these you know summer is coming



 

 Family, whether it be your littlest neice,,

your youngest sister, your furry kids, or your

crowd of all of them...these are the times that I cherish in my heart and will forever....Being together and making memories is what life is all

about ...love one another..if you argue, say your

sorry and cry and get over it..hug and move on...

Mom and dad taught us that no one is any more special than any of us...be kind to others and treat all you meet with love and respect....

They met at our beach when they were teens, married , had us their legacy...we keep their memory alive in us, through us and for us..all the grow and become better people..

Many of our Memory Plants...



 Two hearts met at a beach,

Fell in love, lived, shared and cared ,

Forever they are remembered in Their

Memory Garden.....

My mom loved Dragonflys, butterfiles and hummingbirds!



My special neices, my fur boys and their furcousins at the cottage.




Me, Tanned at my sanctuary, The Cottage...




Makenna, this little neice makes me laugh...



May 28th 2012, As the sun was out this summer we decided to stay home and take care of our home CHORES, the gardens, the sheds, the lawn, the gazebo, the potted flower pots, all the HOME STUFF...believe me I wanted to be at the Cottage in the gorgeous weather...after all was done I decided to make an afternoon treat for my bff neighbour on her deck...we had sunny drinks and fresh appetizers( you have to love anything with cucumbers..so fresh:) After my visit with her, I went to see my Senior Neighbours...whenever I need my Parental Fix I visit them...nothing does the heart better than listening to the advice of those who have already done that been there....What a heart filled, friend filled , neighbourly weekend.... suns Out, Love Karen



Brisby, my furkid.....strong silent and a lot like his dad, stubborn.



Whiskee, my other furkid, needy, high strung and a mommy sticker...like me.

Soon it will be June, and I will be another year older, another year wiser and another year wiser. I will still miss my Dad on Fathers Day, and I will miss my Mom on my birthday..( she always let me have my special bday supper and cherry cheese cake for my bday cake)...my little sister Rach will come to make my day special....



Our Memory Garden, Dedicated to Our Beloved Parents.
This blog is for me to share my life and my memories of my wonderful
parents Jeanne and Owen who were taken away from us
way to early from cancer...my mom was 55, and my dad was 60...
it was only two years apart when our lives had the biggest change we will
ever experience...Loss.....



Mothering Day

May flowers arrive this month beautiful and all anew. They christen Mother Earth with their beauty. We celebrate Mother's Day but I think it should be called Mothering Day! I have two Goldens retrievers who are my furkids! I mother my siblings...maybe because we lost our parents way too early in our lives to cancer. I mother my hubby somewhat unbeknownst to him. When you have devoted unconditional love for those special In your life, we without children, are Mothers. This is the first time in ten years I went in a card store before mothers day. It's hard onthe heart!   I love you mom.
