HAPPY 52nd Birthday, MOM

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

February 29th, 1956 will ALWAYS be remembered in the Mayle household and not just because it was Leap Day...for it was this day about 3:10 in the afternoon that Cathy Jean Mayle joined the family. She was the 3rd of 5 Children. She later met my Dad and they married and 3 years later I entered the pictures. No, I'm not at all good the words, but I can say I have the Best Mother! While I put her through turmoil in those teen years, she continued to love me through them. My daughter isn't a teen yet, but believe me, I think I'm beginning to feel what my mom went through. Oh yes, I have lots of years left with mine, but I think I will have to spend them on my knees, PRAYING!!! All I can say is THANKS MOM FOR NOT GIVING UP ON ME! I am sure sometimes I seemed impossible and I kept you on your knees. While I didn't value your advice then, I treasure it now. Thanks for all you did and all you continue to do. I appreciate it more than you'll ever now. I don't say it often enough, but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I LOVE YOU!


"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me

God’s Masterpiece is Mother

God took the fragrance of a flower...
The majesty of a tree...
The gentleness of morning dew...
The calm of a quiet sea...
The beauty of the twilight hour...
The soul of a starry night...
The laughter of a rippling brook...
The grace of a bird in flight...
Then God fashioned from these things
A creation like no other,
And when his masterpiece was through
He called it simply - Mother.

Happy BELATED Birthday, SIS!

(Naomi & Cuddles)

Well, I missed this one by almost a month (although I didn't miss celebrating it)! BAD ME!!! Naomi turned 32 on February 2nd this year. She is the oldest out of us 4 children. She is very special to us! She has taught us many things...patience being a BIG one at times...She loves Jesus with all her heart. Yes, you can count on if there is an altar invitation she will be there. Don't we wish everyone was that tender!?! Happy Birthday, Naomi! We love you!

A Special Valentine

Abigail came home from school and told me she had some Valentine's for me made by her...the following pictures will explain it all. She wrote this herself (hopefully you can read it..if not I'll write it out)and she did a GREAT job! The picture of the Kiss didn't come out very well, but she did great. Love you lots, Sweetheart!

ANOTHER TOOTH GONE!!!

Excitement is brewing at the Watters household again as Miss Abigail lost another tooth today. She was very proud of herself that she didn't have to go to the dentist for this one either. Mommy played dentist this time. So I guess that means I'll be having a visitor today .... the tooth fairy...hee hee

Abigail's Lost Tooth

Another tooth gone!!! Abigail was very proud of losing this tooth. She has lost 3 teeth now, but this is the first one at home. The dentist had to pull the other 2. Her permanent teeth are growing in behind the baby teeth so they've had to pull them. She asked me if she pulled it at home if I would put it on my website (GOTTA LOVE HER!!!!) Of course, mommy isn't going to say no to this. So if no one else cares about this post (hee hee) Abigail does! I love you, Abigail!

MY APOLOGIES

Dear Faithful Readers,

Just wanted to let you know I think my Blog account had been 'hi-jacked' I was checking it last night and I could not believe the music (IF THAT'S WHAT IT WAS CALLED) that had been put on there. It was AWFUL!!!! I apology if any of you heard that....it DEFINITELY was NOT my type of racket! Thankfully, I caught it before too much happened. Thanks for your understanding!
