Stories about life on the homestead, spinning, knitting, gardening, caregiving and whatever else comes up.
"It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions have ceased to use their hands...this great gift...It is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."
Mahatma Gandhi

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. (Unknown)
Der Himmel hat den Menschen als Gegengewicht zu den vielen Mühseligkeiten des Lebens drei Dinge gegeben, die Hoffnung, den Schlaf, und das Lachen.

Oh Annie......
Big ((HUGS)) for you.
~Amanda (gr8aunt)
Take care of yourself today Annie. Big hugs!
She's with you, honey.
I remembered today even though I never met your lovely Mum. It felt like I had through your words of love for her.
Take care.
It's hard to believe it has been that long. All the best to you on this difficult day.
Thinking of you...and of her.
I hope you have happy memories in with your sadness. Sending you a big hug.
Ann I am sorry I missed seeing you at Lynette's for their threshing bee. I heard it went well. Did you see Mike's picture in the Post Bulletin?I really enjoy your blog.
What a beautiful composition... I'm glad you have captured and chronicled all of those wonderful visual statements.
Having these images to speak for you is perfect; so glad you took them, saved them, and are sharing them, just as you did in those precious moments! We were honored to know her through you.
(((hugs)))
Your Mother has a place in many peoples heart over the world after "Memory Loss Tapes". This spring it was shown on TV (in Sweden where I live).You have helped other caregivers a lot, learning us to see the "little glimmers".
Annie, the truth is that my mother will never leave that big a hole in my heart. I love her, she loves me -- but I wish we had the kind of relationship you had with your mom. Blessings. I am anonymizing just in case somehow this might get back to her.
