Genes or Jeans?

We drove into our daughter’s yard the other day and she was gardening. The first thing that came to my mind was how proud her Grandmother would have been. What a wonderful legacy, Mom. Your granddaughter did learn quite a bit while spending all those hours with you. Her disposition is more like her Grandmother’s, also. Thank goodness!!! She didn’t have on a hat, as her Grandmother almost always did, but the jeans and gloves were very familiar as well as the body language. She has planted a mixture of annuals and perennials, plus trees and flowering shrubs. Of course the towering evergreens, that were already there, make quite an impact, too. So, that’s the first thing that I said to her. She said that she had been thinking a lot about Grandma, also, and telling the girls the things that she remembers from all the time in Grandma’s garden. Remember foxglove fingers? Well, now her girls know about them, too. It’s very interesting the things that get passed on. I guess we never know when we’ll make an impression on someone. Mom had joy, flowers, God and unceasing love for her children. The order of importance would depend on the day. However, her love for us was never in last place!

I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Weekend. Flags, fireworks and the Consitution!

As Always, Healthy Days to You...Your smiling Maven
