I have missed you but I assumed you were busy and would return. And you have, with such happy news of teenagers growing up into responsible loving young adults! Raising teens was a challenge for most of us, the fun part is becoming best friends in the years ahead! <br /><br /> I love that your son put so much effort into graduating, has a good job, and remembered you on both graduation and Mother's Day with a sweet card and gifts, and your daughter did as well! I don't think there is anything that makes a mother happier than having both/all of her children together with her at one time to celebrate something! It sounds like graduation and the dinner afterwards were really nice events for you all to remember. Your children are so good looking! I loved Paul's silly face in the photo, that is something Papa Bear would also do. We love them because they make us laugh! :-)<br /><br />The hail damage was definitely not a thankful thing, but having insurance that will help you to repair the damage was. High winds knocked down a big old tree at Papa Bear's sister's house in East Texas, and it came smashing thru the roof into her house, leaving a gaping hole. She had no insurance and is scrambling to replace the downed power pole and get the roof repaired. <br /><br />I love most of all that your son thanked you for being both his mother and father, acknowledging how much effort you put into parenting and helping to keep his life good, I know that was the very best gift of all!<br /><br />I hope this week is going great for you, and you are enjoying some beautiful weather there now!

How nice you can see and appreciate that wonderful growth from being a teen to being a young adult. I've only eaten at Red Lobster once. I think I had a reaction to lobster and have been afraid to eat there ever since. A lot of years have gone by, so I really need to try it again. We've never experienced hail the size of golf balls. I'm glad insurance will take care of the damage.Pat Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760779673175109204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486926966549862309.post-37523094060161952772017-06-05T19:14:37.084-06:002017-06-05T19:14:37.084-06:00Hi, Carin!

Both of my kids graduated last month, one from high school, one from college. It's a great feeling, isn't it? <br /><br />Hail damage isn't good, but a responsive insurance company it. We've had a lot of severe weather lately, and there was even softball sized hail about 100 miles north of here.

And I'm happy to hear you all had the opportunity to spend time together for Mother's Day. <br />I am never too impressed with Red Lobster, but their cheddar bay biscuits are amazing. I could make a meal of those alone!

There is nothing that brings a mother's heart more joy than seeing her child who has veered off course right himself and return to a path that leads to a strong and healthy future. I am so very happy for him (and you).Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485338098212307793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486926966549862309.post-75648633933708963372017-06-04T15:45:14.517-06:002017-06-04T15:45:14.517-06:00Hey! good to 'see' you at the TToT!

My son went through a similar "rebellion" and he finally came around as a community college student. Enjoy your week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
