You are quite welcome,@IndianaScott, and of course you may use anything from my posts now and in the future. Mother was full of sayings and bits of wisdom that can only come from a very hard life and challenges that would make a grown person cry. As an adult, when I would start a project, I stayed with it, if it took me all day and night to complete. She stayed with me on one occasion after I had my last child and she watched me and then said, " The day will come when you will be able to lie down next to your work." The day HAS come and I understand completely. You can use that one too, if you so choose as she had to have heard it at some time herself.
It is 27 here and raining and freezing on the roads. There is snow on the ground too. No school, again. Lots of those kind of days this last two weeks. (Michigan)
Thanks for the kind words for the 14th. Sending valentine wishes to you and all, who are on this site with us.

Back to you and all those here!

I am a "Yooper Girl" as I was raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (eastern side - the Les Cheneaux Islands - south of Sault Ste. Marie). I remember shoveling so much snow!!!! : ) When our eldest was two Tom and I moved north with him and lived there in the home I grew up in. We lived there for the next nine years and we welcomed our second through fifth babies there. Then, Tom took a job with the federal government and we were bound for Northern Virginia. Tom is a native of Richmond so we thought we were coming home, but NOVA is not really like the rest of Virginia! We have been here ever since. Our eldest and his young family moved north this past fall (missing the babies!) and are in the Gaylord/Grayling area.
