I Learned From You
I learned about love from you, Watching your caring ways. I learned about joy from you In fun-filled yesterdays.
Mom, circa 1946 in front of Grandma's home in Cleveland, Ohio
From you I learned forgiving Of faults both big and small. I learned what I know about living From you, as you gave life your all. The example you set is still with me I'd never want any other. I'm thankful for all that you taught me, And I'm blessed to call you "Mother." By Joanna Fuchs

The above oil painting was done by my mother before I was born, I have one other and they are my most prized possessions.
Happy Mother's Day!

My mother-in-law was reared on a farm in Perry, Ohio, near Cleveland. It is a beautiful part of the world.
Yep .. just east of us, and where they stuck the nuclear power plant!
