Hard to say what footprints we place

onto our loved ones......I can only

hope they are light footed and happy.

A-Z 2014 Challenge D is for Dientes

The Tooth Fairy's Stash  April 4, 2014

Los dientes de la sabiduría = Wisdom Teeth  

~~~~~

I came across this little tin of treasures

the other day ~ packed away in a box

that I hadn't opened in decades.

Besides my children's baby teeth here

are my youngest son's wisdom teeth

 removed when he had to have braces.

In addition there are matches from a friends

 1975 wedding, our beloved Fred's

obituary from 1978, a compass, my high

school graduation watch, dice from

dungeons and dragons and other 

"treasures" from long ago. 

After taking this photo I carefully 

placed the tin back in the box and 

put it back up on the closet shelf.

Somethings are best left to rest.

The A-Z Challenge requires that we

post a blog each day in April except

for Sundays for each letter of the 

alphabet. Today the letter is D.

Magpie #117 Memories of my Mother

Tribute to Helen Elizabeth Hauss Worsley

 My Mother died 26 years ago this October 15th.

I've never stopped missing her nor appreciating the lessons she taught me.

One of my fondest and strongest memory of her was when we all went

cabin camping up at Olallie Lake at the base of Mt Jefferson in Oregon.
She was already ill, but was a good sport and came with us. 

Our cabins were rustic and without electricity or running water but

they did have wood stoves to cook on.

So all one afternoon my mother and my brother Paul tended the fire

and made sure our dinner of scalloped potatoes and baked salmon

was cooked to perfection. It was a wonderful meal and is a delicious memory.

My mother gracefully made things look easy and effortless.

We always referred to that meal in the woods as Mothers' Loaves and Fishes dinner.

Happy Mothers Day to all !

Is this a liquor to sip or?

A scent to adore?

Mi amor...?

Is it a remembrance of lusty times

Or a scent of rosemary thymes?

Mon ami?

Or is it love scented fragments
Of golden hued moments

Glistening con tigo ?

Long ago?

Wasn't it just yesterday?

Blue Willow Meals

Blue Willow dishes stacked so high
vested with crumbs of yesterdays pie
who would think that it was the last time
that all would change
that you would die

Now the dishes are silently stacked

into the boxes sadly packed

who would think that it was the last time

that all would change

that you would die
