Best Mom Ever! by Gerard

This post is part of Mama Kat's Writer's workshop in response to the "Memories of Mom" prompt. Since I wrote about my mom the last years, this year it's Gerard's turn to share about his mom:



We used to play Rummy and Bunco a lot.

We used to watch The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, My 3 Sons, Polka Varieties and movies together every night.

She took me to Indians games often and the wrestling matches at the Cleveland Arena.

I remember there always seemed to be big snow storms on her birthday (Jan. 25).

We went to Red Barn for chicken every Sunday.

We planted flowers together and she taught me how to clean the house.

I HATE YOU!

I must have the dumbest computer monitor ever.  Two weeks ago, I'm sitting at my computer trying to see the screen because the picture is so light and the afternoon sun was glaring on it.  Fortunately, Gerard was out walking the dog.  I am literally screaming at my AOC computer monitor.

What's Your Old West Cowboy Name?

Russell Red & Sadie Banner (our cowboy names)
This picture was taken the last time we went to Geauga Lake Amusement Park. It was fun to do and provides us with a good memory whenever we see it. I recommend you doing something like this even though it's a bit costly, it's a fun memory. Click below to find out your wild west name. (If you don't like it, try it again and you'll probably get a different name. The first time I did it I got Sadie Banner but the next time I did it, I got Mary Beth.)

Somebody Is Sleeping In Our Bed

This is the first Manny went in under the covers. The bed was made and he just crawled in for his afternoon nap.

From A Bird's Perspective

Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? –Matthew 6:26

God Cares For You

As a creature of the Lord’s
God shows He loves me too.
And I am just a bird—
Much more he cares for you!

The Bible says God guides us,
He tells us where to feed.
Now if God cares for animals,
He’ll surely meet your need!

So don’t get scared and worry
About things of this earth.
God says He will protect you;
To Him, you have great worth.

And when a worry tempts you,
Quick, lay it at God’s feet.
Allow the Lord to show you
That trusting Him is sweet.

But you must take that first step;
Refuse to fret and fear.
Fill up your mind with Scripture,
And let Christ draw you near.
