A heartfelt thanks to all of you for your comments on my last post...I have such wonderful friends and  it was truly appreciated.

 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” 
 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

"Little Grandma"

Early this morning, my sweet mother passed away peacefully in her sleep. How appropriate that it’s a Sunday and today she’s worshipping and dancing for joy ……in heaven.
Keep me in your prayers,
Suzy

Mosaic Monday

Grandson Alex knew that he really wanted to play an instrument in the school band...but which one?  Well, I think it took very little convincing once the teacher said that he was the only one that could blow hard enough to get a sound out of the ...slide trombone. On Thanksgiving we were entertained with " Hot Cross Buns" and "Merrily we roll along".  He was excited to hear that his great - grandfather also played the trombone... in a marching band.

Mosaic Monday

I'm such a sentimental soul......I love anything old.

 Old china, old linens and ladies hankies,

 old stories, old houses and barns

 and...

Thanks to Mary over at "Little red house" for her  Mosaic Monday meme.
