Happy Mother's Day 2012!

Happy Mother’s Day to all! Especially my mom Maurine, we call her Sheba. Mom, you make the world a better place every day. Everything you have done in your life, for me, for everyone, you are the mother of us all. I am blessed to be your first born, and thanks for always making me feel like the most special person on the planet.

 

If I could make a day for you, I would be like the ghost of Christmas past. I’d take you to our house on Harbor, the house on Helmer, and the house on Zang. You’d see all our ancestors on the journey, Grandma Bert, Grandpa Ivan, Grandpa Albert, Grandma Sahnee, Grandma Ruth…everyone. I’d take you to the day you bought the piano, taught me to draw, taught me to sing, and took me to my first ballet lesson. I’d take you to raising baby squirrels, and teaching me to make goulash, scalloped corn, and many other things. I think of you, every day. Every artistic talent I have, I get from you, and I’m so excited about the book.

 

For those of you who have been urging me to write a book or two about Sandhill Cranes, they are in full swing, and my mom is illustrating the children’s book.

 

Regarding the shot: This is one of the first photos of Cherry and the chicks this year. Free is on the left, Style is still sleepy, having just hatched. I haven’t gotten as many shots of the chicks this year as I expected to mostly because of the drama with Classic’s foot, his rescue, etc. I’m just glad they are all alive and doing well. I have to wish Cherry a Happy Mother’s Day too. She did a great job of taking care of two chicks on her own while Classic was in rehab.

 

Love, hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)
