Here is something that I wish to say...Dear Mom:
That horse-crazy gene came out of the blue,
I know that it made no sense to you.
You took me for lessons, bought me horse books,
helped me at horseshows; whatever it took.
Though they were never your cup of tea,
you always, always supported me.
The horse who trod carelessly on your big toe,
(bet you'll never forget that show :o)
The Breyers you bought me, and small figurines,
to have a real horse was always my dream.
And now that I am a woman grown,God has blessed me with ten of my own.
Your horse loving child, now the mom of a teen,
surrounded by horses and on a new dream.
To share the wonder of horses with many,
as a non profit charity, pinching those pennies.
I know that you are still shaking your head,
wondering how we will keep them all fed.
You don't understand their meaning to me,
yet you still help without needing to see.
Constant support and unwavering love,
these are things my mother's made of.
I love you Mom!
I made my mom a slide show video on DVD using some photos I took a few weeks ago of the flowers from her gardens, which are gorgeous! (the first four photos, however, are from my own much smaller garden). We were so darn happy for spring, it seemed that even the weeds looked pretty. Not only will these virtual posies live longer than the "real" thing (but hey, I suppose we can call them the "reel" thing right? *GROAN* :o) I wanted my mom to be able to take her beautiful gardens with her if and when they ever need to move to a smaller house. Enjoy!

I'm thinking of doing a post Mother's Day giveaway of this DVD - what do you think? Interested? Have a wonderful and blessed week!
