I had the first dream post you know what of my mom last night, or should I say just before I woke up. I didn't want to wake up. In my dream I had been accepted into the Military (at my age and in my shape) and I was expressing my doubts to my mom if I could do it. She told me, "It will be hard, but you can do anything you put your mind to doing." I then asked her if she would be there for my graduation and she told me that it would be very hard for her to be there. I said maybe dad could drive, and she thought that might work . . . and then I woke up . . .
A thought to carry with you . . .

And I do too!
Hi Marie, I'm so pleased you dreamt about your Mum. I knew after my Mum and my husband died that I wouldn't dream about them, I never dream, or at least never remember them. After my mum died, nearly 20 years ago, my sister became obsessed about dreaming about her. She would get really upset that, although she was remembering her dreams, it was never about Mum. Although I would have loved to have had that extra time with my Mum, as I adored her, I just accepted it wasn't going to happen. Still, like you, I have so many beautiful memories that make me smile and also shed a tear, even after all this time.
ReplyDeleteHope yesterday was good, oh and yes my foot is doing really good thanks Marie, virtually pain free!!
Lot's of love xxx
Oh, I am so happy to read that your foot is doing so well Kate! yay! I am lucky in that I have very vivid dreams and most of the time I remember them clearly. That is not always a good thing, but this time it was! Hope you are having a fab weekend! Love and hugs, xoxo
DeleteLuky youwith that dream..you just want to keep dreaming when that happens:)
ReplyDeleteLots of cute things..I have made the mini envelopes..all out now...so many cute cute things..Have a good weekend Marie!
Oh, I know Monique, but by the time you get to the point where you are remembering what you are dreaming, you are well on your way to waking up. I bet your mini envelopes were adorable! Happy weekend! xoxo
DeleteSo happy to hear you had a dream of your mom...lovely!! I understand and also how much you want the dream to go on!! Love all the neat ideas you find...so many and so little time!! Sending hugs!! Elizabeth xoxo
ReplyDeleteIt was a sweet, sweet tender mercy Elizabeth! God is good! xoxo
DeleteI love the dream you had of your sweet Mom. I don't have dreams of my parents very often but treasure them when I do. I wish that I could dream more about them.
ReplyDeleteI loved your finds as always. I like looking at each of them. Of course, I always love the crocheted items and I liked the lined envelopes.
The knitted sweater is lovely. I wish I knew how to knit. Of course, I wish I could get back into crocheting.
I really liked the touch of Easter and the touch of spring too.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs!
LeAnn, you do make me smile. Love you to bits! Spring is springing and just around the corner! xoxo
DeleteI was looking at the cake recipe more...I knew it reminded me of a popular homemade cake from my childhood. You mixed butter, sugar and coconut and pecans if wished, and broiled it a bit on top of the cake when it was baked. YUMMY. Thanks for sharing this idea...and what a great money saving idea too...a lovely snack made with things we keep on hand anyway. Elizabeth xoxo
ReplyDeleteI remember that cake Elizabeth. Lazy Daisy Cake. My mom used to make that sometimes! xoxo
