Happy weekend, everyone! I'm celebrating because my daughter is home from college for the summer. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you are so happy, Missy. Enjoy your summer with your daughter!
DeleteMissy, I know you're thrilled to have her home. We're leaving in an hour to head off to our oldest son's college graduation. Doesn't seem that long ago he was playing with Legos. Now he's an engineer.
DeleteMindy, congratulations to your son!
DeleteMissy, enjoy having your daughter home!! :) I miss those days...*sigh* but am thankful my kiddos are all happy and have careers they love. :)
DeleteMindy, I know you're proud of your son! (I have an engineer too---I tell folks my kiddos are much smarter than their mom, LOL). ;)
Thanks, Sandy!
DeleteMindy, I can't believe he's graduating already!! So true about how quickly it passes.
Patti Jo, it's nice to have her here for one more summer. She'll be graduating next May. Then I'll be in your boat. :)
I am so excited to win The Hidden Side and the wall art from Heidi! The wall art will be especially meaningful to me as the choir sang "It Is Well With My Soul" at my mom's funeral in March as we felt that song so represented Mom's faith. This weekend will be my first Mother's Day without my mom, so I need that reminder.
ReplyDeleteI will be with my dad and all my siblings on Mother's Day as my niece and nephew graduate from high school on Sunday. As my sister said on Facebook earlier this week, it will be good to get together for a joyous occasion.
I wish a Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in Seekerville.
The first of anything without your mom is tough, but Mother's Day is one of the worst. I'll be thinking of you & keeping you in my prayers this weekend, Sandy!
DeleteThank you, Jan!
DeleteSandy, I'm thinking about you this first Mother's Day without your precious Mom. I know how difficult it is. Sending gentle hugs to you, Patti Jo
DeleteMother's Day can be hard, especially so soon after losing your Mom. I'll be remembering you in my prayers, Sandy, and all those you have lost their moms this past year.
DeleteMeant to add that "It Is Well With My Soul" is my very favorite - - Love that special hymn so much.
DeleteThank you, Patti Jo and Debby. I appreciate it.
DeleteSandy, I, too, will be thinking of you on Sunday.
DeleteThank you, Missy.
DeleteCongratulations to all the winners!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all of the winners! Yay me...I'm one! Thank you so much. I'm thrilled to see I've won a copy of Beth's latest book, Things I Never Told You! After a tough week, this is a wonderful start to my weekend.
ReplyDeleteJill, I hope it perks you up when you receive it.
DeleteHappy weekend, Seekerville, and congratulations to all of the winners. Oh, and love seeing all the book stuff. Woot, woot!
ReplyDeleteWow! How wonderful, for some reason, I didn't even realize I was entering a book drawing. LOL! ;) I was more interested in learning from you all. Thank you so much! Amy
ReplyDeleteAmy, that just made me smile. :) I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteThanks for the great posts this past week and next week looks great also. CingCongratulat to all of the winners!

I hope everyone is enjoying a delightful weekend, and hope all the moms, grandmoms, aunts, and others will have a blessed Mother's Day! For those of us who've lost our precious mothers, it can be an emotional time...but we treasure those memories.
Setting out a warm Georgia pecan pie (with whipped cream if you'd like) if anyone needs a snack today! ;)
Hugs, Patti Jo
Thank you for the wishes and the pie, Patti Jo!
DeleteHappy Mother's Day Weekend to all the Moms and to all women with a Mother's Heart! That includes all of us. Enjoy your day, ladies!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners! After church today, I headed to our local Farmer's Market. Such a beautiful assortment of produce and baked goods. I came home with pecan raisin bread and a large loaf of Tuscan white bread. Care for a slice?
Debby, those breads sound amazing! Pass some my way!
DeleteHope everyone has a blessed weekend. It is absolutely gorgeous here in MS.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, the bread sounds amazing! Says the woman #AvoidingWhites :(
