The belts, the couple changing in appearance over the years... I see me and Rich. We are still so much the same in our heads and hearts that it's a shock to see ourselves in photos. It hit home when we looked at our vacation photos from last week. We laughed together.Leslie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242569371751832426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-64595797260957945082018-06-26T07:43:56.540-04:002018-06-26T07:43:56.540-04:00I'm glad you had Fern in your lifeI'm glad you had Fern in your lifeJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-83506326515819585152018-06-26T07:43:41.655-04:002018-06-26T07:43:41.655-04:00thanks. it doesn't seem short and then it is!thanks. it doesn't seem short and then it is!Joan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-71063209560654102592018-06-26T07:43:25.278-04:002018-06-26T07:43:25.278-04:00thank you!thank you!Joan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-11829515998195338072018-06-26T07:43:14.186-04:002018-06-26T07:43:14.186-04:00thanks. yes, he does. for this one, i made sure he...thanks. yes, he does. for this one, i made sure he pre approved!Joan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-66774349579074440202018-06-26T07:42:52.648-04:002018-06-26T07:42:52.648-04:00thank youthank youJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-88299065774068412732018-06-26T07:42:44.637-04:002018-06-26T07:42:44.637-04:00aww, thanksaww, thanksJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-75749774563240144662018-06-26T07:42:32.613-04:002018-06-26T07:42:32.613-04:00thanksthanksJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-66099472061423320652018-06-26T07:42:24.817-04:002018-06-26T07:42:24.817-04:00thank you!thank you!Joan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-3600939660210949042018-06-26T07:42:14.138-04:002018-06-26T07:42:14.138-04:00you mom sounds like a trooper and then some. thank...you mom sounds like a trooper and then some. thank youJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-19150612445212328842018-06-26T07:41:54.473-04:002018-06-26T07:41:54.473-04:00thank youthank youJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-44539393705651321012018-06-26T07:41:42.295-04:002018-06-26T07:41:42.295-04:00thanks!thanks!Joan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-25154065324752497282018-06-26T07:41:33.132-04:002018-06-26T07:41:33.132-04:00thanksthanksJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-47706450770457924452018-06-26T07:41:01.591-04:002018-06-26T07:41:01.591-04:00thank youthank youJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-13500573649114812552018-06-26T07:40:52.598-04:002018-06-26T07:40:52.598-04:00thank you for taking the time to commentthank you for taking the time to commentJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-6692451064707495672018-06-26T07:40:36.765-04:002018-06-26T07:40:36.765-04:00thanksthanksJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-33296369422963787422018-06-26T07:40:25.154-04:002018-06-26T07:40:25.154-04:00aww, thank youaww, thank youJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-69805215982973273552018-06-26T07:40:15.421-04:002018-06-26T07:40:15.421-04:00i'm glad you have those keepsakes. thank youi'm glad you have those keepsakes. thank youJoan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377295989258923610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-34709586011441746642018-06-25T21:16:57.788-04:002018-06-25T21:16:57.788-04:00Tears streaming down my cheeks; you've touched...Tears streaming down my cheeks; you've touched my heart...<br />~carolcmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929147498832463255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799276623638360369.post-441314637694080902018-06-24T22:50:13.295-04:002018-06-24T22:50:13.295-04:00Sometimes I believe you can see right into peoples...Sometimes I believe you can see right into peoples' souls as you write. This lovely tribute to your mother-in-law was superlative and, uncanilly, right on my mark. I, too, have a plastic container under my bed full of a lifetime of belts. Each and every one of them pulls memories out of what passes for my mind these days; the tan braided leather set with turquoise conchos, the pale green silk that matched a dress made for a friend's wedding, the black patent cincher printed with red lips, and on and on. That stash of seemingly useless "stuff" is my life in 3D. It is so comforting to know that someone else in this throw-away world sees and understands. Thank you for sharing your mother-in-law and know she was blessed to have you in her family.
