Country Roads and Motherhood

I've been included in a beautiful country treasury on etsy. Take a look. It's a slice of pure Americana!
Happy Mothers Day to all!  I saw a list that a fellow blogger made entitled "What a Mother wants".  I couldn't have said it any better.  A mom just wants the very best for her kids. She wants their love and especially their respect. She wants to know that what she taught them about life had some impact on them.  She wants them to guard their hearts and minds from the garbage the world throws at them and insists is ok. It's not. It pollutes you. I want to know I'll see them in heaven.  For myself, I want to show them that you never really attain perfection, but you sure do need to keep learning and growing. That's all really.  There is a lot of little stuff between those lines, but it pretty much sums it up.  I am blessed to have two of the sweetest, prettiest girls ever.  I love you both! You make me a better person and I hope I do the same for you.
You are my angels.
