Mom was SO thrilled this year when we put her Christmas tree us. She just wanted to watch us do it. And she was especially delighted when I hung this lovely ornament on the tree! It was made especially for her by my wonderful friend, Jesse, who makes these by hand, setting each sequin, creating fabulous designs!
You can see many of Jesse's "baubles", as he calls them, in this folder:

WE call them treasures and heirlooms! :)
Talk about being under foot, this little guy ( already not so little ) was never very far from Mom, always touching and bumping each other, I guess for reassurance or something, anyway have a glorious day, be safe and thank you all very much for the visit.
Mom finally got close enough to the kids for me to get several of them in the frame with her. She is not as far into molting as dad is. I never get tired of this sight.

Mom has such a wonderful collection of lilies in her yard that she planted over the years. They amaze me every year. I am slow to post these. They are from June, 2021.
I'm thinking about a special way to surprise the best QUEEN i have ever seen
on her day 21-3
She deserves more than this simple one
There's nothing I can say but that I love you MOM... <3<3
Warm wishes and all the happiness to all MOMs on the world

My mother is 80 years old now. In 1983 she had suffered from a brain stroke and became partially paralyzed. Following years, she recovered a lot, can walk with a walker, eat by herself if some one served the meal and so on. But for last couple of years she became fully bed ridden due to other causes i.e., diabetes, kidney problem etc. Most of her memories has been lost.

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,
and I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you feed a stray cat,
and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you make my favorite cake for me,
and I knew that little things are special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I heard you say a prayer,
and I believed that there was a God to talk to.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I felt you kiss me goodnight,
and I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw tears come from your eyes,
and I learned that sometimes things hurt,
but it's alright to cry.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw that you cared,
and I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I looked....
and I wanted to say thanks for all the things
I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.

Mom moved last week and is settling into her new life in a senior community. She has met several nice people, including four other Japanese ladies who live there as well. I admire her so much for being able to keep adapting and thriving at age 82!!

I added on the half hexes to make my edging easier.
New York Central's Momence, Illinois tower as it looked in 1947. Operator Jim Wilson is posing on the steps. This view looks S/W from the NYC tracks. The NYC's 3-I line crossed the C&EI here. The Milwaukee Roads CM&G line had trackage rights with the NYC briefly to get across the plant, for .05 miles. The CM&G wanted to build straight across the C&EI and have their own crossing, but the C&EI refused that permission.
NYC Momence tower was closed in 1999 and removed in 2005 or 2007, I don't remember now.
The original CI&S "MG" wooden tower was built in 1893. I don't know what happened to this tower, probably a fire or derailment I suppose. It was replaced with the brick tower in 1906 and had a Saxby & Farmer machine.
