Mother’s Got A Dot Com

Hubbys baby shoes, “dipped” in silver….

Baby feet, before being constricted by shoes…

Mo’s playing up today…

Sorry, folks – it just jumped in here…

And Doodle Week – Day 5

Daydreams and cats? Well, had I had Paint at hand in my doodling school days, it might have looked like this – the cat might have been there too, but this one’s for Mo!

(PS:It looks like it came from an egg, but no… cats are mammals, silly!)

NEWSFLASH – THE EGG HAS HATCHED!

It had to be this one. # 5 Brat and her grandfather in the sunset, 3 years ago.

A ripping theme this week, Mo!

I’d like to dedicate this post to absent friends…

My mother, who died at 26.
Both my dear grandmothers, who were like mothers to me ever since.
My grandfathers, who were more distant figures, but who both wished me well.
The one great grandmother that I knew, who was a grand old lady.
My ex husband, father to two of my children – who claimed to be “a lousy husband, but a good friend”, and was right. He died when the girls were 8 and 13.
His father, a lovely man and WW2 veteran, whose story I might tell you one day.
My aunt, my mothers sister, who passed away last year. She also was like a mother to me, and she never recovered from the death of her little sister.
As well as all the others: friends, more distant relatives, neighbours… People who’ve made an impact on my life, and that I remember fondly.

May you all Rest In Peace.

Ha. I don’t have a photo of a funny sign. Nor do I know of one that’s available for me to photograph. Unless the poster on #3 Brats door counts: “Do not enter, unless you have really big boobs”.

Then I thought of this pic:

This is a sign Miracle Boy was taught by his charming siblings at a very very young age. I’m guessing that it’s universal, and needs no further explanation…

(Just in case – that’s his index finger he’s tapping against his forehead, he’s not saluting the troops…)

ManicMo has me stumped today, with the word quake… I made two assumptions, though – it turned out they were both wrong…

1.We don’t have quakes – I’ve experienced one earthquake in my life, in 1989, and it was little more than a tremor (although the papers went on about it for weeks…)

Ok, so I Googled it, and it turns out we do have quite a few quakes. Most of them are rather small, though…

2.We don’t, to my knowledge, have Quakers here either – puritanism is quite dead in this country.

Ok, so I Googled that too. It turns out I’m wrong again. We do have a Quaker community in Norway, with about 150 members.

So, thanks to Mo, I learned two things today.

I only have 6, but they sometimes feel like thirteen…

Mo’s made me go looking for buds today…

These are the only buds available here as of yet… The crocus aren’t buds, really, they blossom whenever the sun is out (has happened once), but look like this most of the time! They’re also slightly frost-bitten…
The tiny green stuff to the right are proper buds, though: Mini daffodils. Give’em another 2 weeks, and they’ll be out and frost-bitten too!
Seriously. Give us some spring, already!
