A day off is like putting your brain on co-pilot. Not having to be anywhere for any particular reason is quite wonderful. So I decided it would be a nice day to visit my Mama. We drove over and my sister Norma was there, she was happy to have a full house.The kids played happily out in the yard, running around, picking peaches, and basically just causing a ruckus. While the kids played we visited with Mom, I invited her to Melissa's birthday dinner and hoped she would say yes.
You know...... I myself have seen my Mama put on her rollers a million times but somehow these become the moments I know I will cherish. Ever since I was a little girl I remember those funny rollers - they caused me much embarrassment in grade school. She would come to the school with her colorful plastic rollers and a brightly colored scarf tied around her head (this kept the rollers in place), it's funny how when your a kid you don't really appreciate those things. But I also remember how proud I would be when she dressed up with her hair beautifully curled.
Oh those rollers brought back so many memories and made it fun while we helped Mama pick out an outfit to wear to dinner. We will be celebrating my daughters 22nd birthday this evening, and I'm really excited to have the family together. I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating LIFE!
