Happy Homemaker Monday

           

Visit Sandra to join in with Happy Homemaker Monday!

                           

Good morning, beautiful friends.  It is sunny at the moment and I am relishing the rays because I know it is supposed to be cloudy later today and then rain for the next two!  I hope you all had a good weekend and that the mothers had a lovely Mother's Day. I haven't truly been able to celebrate since my Mom passed away 8 years ago. I stayed at home and in bed until about 4 p.m. Jennah and my Dad bought me some beautiful flowers to plant out on my balcony and Emily sent me flowers.   

 

I've been feeling under the weather for awhile now due to my diabetes medications and it has been taking a toll on my spirit as well.
