Day One Hundred Thirty Seven

Memento

My baby brother Rob Mabry passed away very suddenly two years ago today in Destin, Florida. Sometimes I remember something funny he did or said or I see a picture of him surrounded by his family and then it hits me and I think, Oh yeah...he's not around any more. Oh, but that's not entirely true. He's around. In my memories. In my heart. He drew this little self portrait on the envelope of a birthday card he gave me in 1980. He was 16 years old at the time and already a marvelous drummer, his lifelong passion. Who's this? he asked. Like I could ever forget.

Flashback

I didn't take pictures today--a rare event. So here's a flashback to a Mother's Day celebration three years ago. Grand son Elijah was about 9 months old here in his great granny's arms. Sweet!

Have a super weekend, everyone!

Day One Hundred Thirty Three

She's A Star!

Grand daughter Shelby reached 100 points in advanced reading--she's been reading "chapter" books and taking tests on what she's read--so she made the 100 Point AR Wall, which means her name is on display on the school marquee this week. Quite an accomplishment. Since she LOVES to read and flies through books, her mom encouraged her to start reading longer and more complex books. We are so proud of her. Way to go, Shelby!! Reading rules! And you rock!
