Happy Mother’s Day!!
Hello again! I know, twice in one day. But I wanted this to be separate. I want to share this poem that I wrote for my mother years ago. It was for Mother’s Day, and it was that year she died. It’s not very well written but it came from my heart. Here it is as a tribute to my Mother.
Mother.
She carried me gently all through
The time when nothing I could do.
She held me in my time of fear;
I thank you, Lord, for mother dear.
She helped me learn how to walk,
She taught me carefully to talk,
She guided well as none other;
I thank you, Lord, for my mother.
She helped me all the way through school,
And helped me learn the ‘golden rule’.
She prayed for me when ’twas needed;
Thank you, Lord, that mother pleaded.
A lot of time with me she spent,
Most precious time that she lent;
She gave so much, as no other,
I thank you, Lord, for my mother.
Here I sit and often ponder,
My love for her still grows fonder,
We shared a lot with one another;
I thank you, Lord, for my mother.

Sunday’s Mystery In The Rain.
Well, here we are on a rainy Sunday morning which makes it a good time to do another award post. This time I was nominated for the Mystery Blogger Award by my friend Ilona. She is a wonderful person with a very interesting blog where she talks of many subjects and always has something to help motivate you each day. Thank you for nominating me Ilona.
Rules:
Put the award logo/image on your blog
List the rules.
Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
Mention the creator of the award and provide a link as well.
Tell your readers 3 things about yourself
You have to nominate 10-20 people
Notify your nominees by commenting on their blog
Ask your nominees any 5 questions of your choice; with one weird or funny question
Share a link to your best posts.
Okay, now to list 3 things about myself. This is always the hard part, but here goes;
- I love gardening. However, now that I live in an apartment that is no longer possible. I did try container gardening my first summer here but someone trashed all my plants one night so I decided not to try again.
- I enjoy old movies from the Golden Age of movies. That’s movies from the 1930s to the 1950s.
- I collect rocks and minerals. I started that collection when I was 10 and I still enjoy it.
Now look at that. Notice I did not mention that I love warm places this time. I told myself when I started to do this award that I would not mention the fact that I love warm places this time, and I did it. You may clap if you wish.
Now it’s time for Ilona’s questions. I notice that everyone gives me hard questions. What’s wrong with easy questions? Well, okay, these questions are not too bad, so…
- How long have you been in your blogging journey?
I had to look this up, terrible I know, but I started in July of 2017. My blog has changed a bit since then. But it’s still fun. I think.
2. Do you like comics, if you do which one is your favourite?
Yes. Does Garfield count? He’s my favorite comic hero cat! Wrong kind of comics? Does Spiderman count? Or Captain America?
3. Do you think we are alone in the universe?
Yes. That was an easy one. If you disagree and want to argue about it, forget it. I don’t argue. Sorry about that.
4. Shower or Bath?
Shower most of the time, bath if I really want to relax. I really like easy.
5. London or Paris?
For a visit, both of them. To live, neither of them.
Now I’m supposed to share a link to my best posts. But that would suggest that some of my posts are no good. I like them all, but then, I am a bit biased on that.
Now I have to come up with 5 questions for my nominees. This part can be hard.
- Do you like rainy days?
- Do you enjoy reading?
- Do you watch TV on a daily basis?
- Do you keep up with current news?
- Have you ever been so frustrated with your computer/laptop/phone that you felt like tossing it out the door?
See? I use easy questions. Oh well. Now I’m supposed to nominate 5 people. Yes, I know what it says, but there’s only 5 questions. Anyway, you will have to check and see if you are on the list because I’m a rule breaker and I won’t notify you. I know. I’m a terrible person. Here you are;
