Postscript to the day:
We went to the Mayfaire on the Lake Art Show in Lakeland and had a wonderful dinner at Abuelos. Jeni and Bill (Lexi, too!) clowned around in the empty pool. It will have H2O by the end of the week.

Happy Mother's Day! My daughter will be on her way over soon and I've received greetings already from my daughter who lives away so I'm a happy mother. :) Thinking of all of you that have lost children and how that changes this day for most of us who have. For me at this stage, I'm so thankful for my daughters and what I have, but the pain of who isn't here tries to take over. I always try to plan a lot and do a lot on this day and the joy takes over. I wish the same for you.

Dress Up
You dress in finery fit for the princess of joy.
Vibrant colors grab the eyes of every passer-by,
they can’t help but smile for the beauty of you.
Your presentation brings happiness to those around you
when you wear the colors of a blazing sunset
dnd the most brilliant rose bouquet. I imagine
who you are, you with handwoven hat
and sun drenched skin. I think I know
until you turn and your eyes meet mine.
May 2, 2012 Happy Anniversary
Forty-two years ago I married the man of my dreams. Happy Anniversary to the love of my life, Bill Roney.

Judy McBroom Roney THE STORY Behind the Photo: Bill was in the service at McDill AFB and he worked a part time job at Zayre's Discount Dept Store so he could send money to his mom. I worked at Zayre's. We had no money. I bought the wedding dress you see for $14.00 at Zayre's. We did not intend to have a formal wedding; just a courthouse wedding. Expense being the major thing. However, our fellow employees at Zayre's wanted us to have a wedding. They did everything, paid for everything, set it up, etc. We were married in a church in Tampa and the reception was in a Sunday School room (with a chalkboard). The only people wanting us to be together as much as Bill and me and Zayre's employees was Bill's Air Force friends. We received everything at the reception that we could have dreamed of and the most important was everyone's participation and blessing. The wedding is a wonderful memory. The people who gathered round us were amazing people.

Judy McBroom Roney THE STORY Behind the Photo: Bill was in the service at McDill AFB and he worked a part time job at Zayre's Discount Dept Store so he could send money to his mom. I worked at Zayre's. We had no money. I bought the wedding dress you see for $14.00 at Zayre's. We did not intend to have a formal wedding; just a courthouse wedding. Expense being the major thing. However, our fellow employees at Zayre's wanted us to have a wedding. They did everything, paid for everything, set it up, etc. We were married in a church in Tampa and the reception was in a Sunday School room (with a chalkboard). The only people wanting us to be together as much as Bill and me and Zayre's employees was Bill's Air Force friends. We received everything at the reception that we could have dreamed of and the most important was everyone's participation and blessing. The wedding is a wonderful memory. The people who gathered round us were amazing people.

April 29, 2012 Sophia Bird
Jeni & Tom are back from Vegas where they celebrated their third wedding anniversary. I am glad they are back for many reasons but the main one is that we were in charge of a precious cargo. Not Livi, their dog, who was staying with someone. Not to sit the house; they have a good security system. It was to watch the sparrow (I think that's what it is) that Jeni named Sophia and make sure Sophia...See More

April 28, 2012 Coffee Shop
Bill and I went into Lakeland to check out the new coffee house, Black & Brew. Is that clever or what? :) It was a great coffee place and the atmosphere conducive to writing. Then I spotted rows of wine there! This is a coffee house with a kick. Life is definitely good. As luck would have it, we ran into a street festival and had a marvelous lake kind of day.

Patricia Mcbroom Thomas and I jumped out on passenger side and fell off into a deep ditch. Kim is yelling at Kenneth for ruining her new car we were in middle of Tim Ford park pitch dark. Thomas had gotten all the ninja junk for Xmas he was wanting to get his sword out of burning car. The park police heard all the yelling thought someone had stolen a car and setting it on fire. If they had not known my cousin I would have gone to jail for having thomas's Xmas within arms reach in a car. My cousin came tightened the cap and Kim drove home.

I realize that the posts don't mean much without the replies so I'm posting those, too. My blog..so I can do that. :)
I was lost on an incredible road where the oaks formed an umbrella over the street and sun still found it's way in the pastures and fields. There were horses and ponds, houses sitting on acres of land, red barns and wild flowers. It all felt like a dream and a step back in time for me when I noticed a huge white tent (it was once white..perhaps a taupe tent. :) and a plank of wood stationed near by that said REVIVAL in uneven red letters. There were a few cars there and I've a mind to wander on over there to see if a tent revival today is the same as it was so many years ago when I was growing up. I'm glad I got lost. :)
