~ A Groovy Kind of Love ~

Old love rusts not. ~ German Proverb

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! May your love and marriage continue to be a shining example to all of us. We love you!

It's Your Day!

To my knight in shining armor - Happy 34th!

TWISTER!!

A rare weather event happened today in Castle Rock, and the Martin family (minus Jon - he was a the Police Academy) got to experience the excitement of it all. It was really amazing and fun to watch the tornado form...until we could see the debris that the tornado was picking up in it's path. We quickly went to our neighbors' basement - all of us -3 adults, 8 children, 1 dog, 1 guinea pig, 1 cat, and 2 rabbits!:) Thank goodness we got the "all clear" within about 15 minutes-

What a circus!!!

Maggie said, "Look there's a funnel cloud!"

We responded, "No there's not, we don't have tornadoes in Castle Rock", but...

we were wrong!

Look closely at the ridgeline, and you can see that the funnel cloud has touched down and is now a tornado.

The tornado has now picked up enough debris that the entire cone is visible.

The picture does not do justice to what we were able to see. We could see large pieces of debris in the sky around the base of the tornado. It was a little eery, as there was absolutely no wind, just complete stillness. At this point we all headed to the basement. Thankfully, at this time, there are no reported injuries.

Happy Birthday Sarah Jane!

I will bless the Lord who has counseled me;

Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.

I have set the Lord continually before me;

because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;

My flesh also will also dwell securely.

Psalm 16: 7-9

FIVE

rosy lips resting

i brush her brown hair back

from her sun kissed cheeks

i kiss her eyes closed

her child heart grows quieter

and i catch my breath again

who first made me mother

rests in my lap

i pick up her hand

and wonder for her days

the mother in me wanting

those dirt smudged toes

to stay young

i etch this common evening in my mind

over and over

every detail

so i won't miss a detail

when those dirt smudged toes

are grown......

Happy Birthday Sweet Pea!

Happy Birthday

There are times when only a Mother's love can understand our tears, and soothe our disappointments and calm away our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love can share the joy we feel, when something we have dreamed about suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's love can help us on life's way, and inspire in us, the confidence we need from day to day.

Mother, thank you for your heart, faith and hope, and all your steadfast love, you were fashioned by the Angels and sent from God above...

Happy Birthday Mom -M
