It means a lot to know you enjoy reading my observations, for what they're worth. By the way, I read other blogs at the end of the day, too, and know exactly what you mean about being tired. Another reason I appreciate the words of support!

It's not something we pause to think about very often, but it's nice to have a reason to. Thanks for the lovely comment, and best wishes to you, too!Shelley Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488453243236670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-52515446473262530952013-05-22T23:26:20.714-04:002013-05-22T23:26:20.714-04:00Such precious photos, Shelley.

Your daughters are beautiful, your son handsome.<br /><br />I want to leave comments on some of your others posts (some from months ago) but I have to do it earlier in the day when I'm not so tired. I so appreciate your writing and your insights and thoughts about your post topics, Shelley. You're doing a great job!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-78580154732710639622013-05-12T21:01:29.275-04:002013-05-12T21:01:29.275-04:00Shelley, you and your three children look like a v...Shelley, you and your three children look like a very happy family. I am glad for all of you. <br /><br />Yes, I agree with you about "the links that bind one generation to another." If it were not for those links, where would we all be? Genealogy puts those links front and center.Mariann Reganhttp://mariannsregan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939752311253681195.post-20450867961886439902013-05-12T16:42:22.303-04:002013-05-12T16:42:22.303-04:00Shelley, I've been realizing that, myself, as ...Shelley, I've been realizing that, myself, as I write on Mother's Day topics: something inherent in being a mother zeroes in on furthering family connections. I know how you feel about your three kids--and they each are admirable in their own ways--and I certainly see the connections between generations as you talk about your own mom and mother in law. Thank God for those connections and the richness they bring to our lives and those to whom we pass this along.<br /><br />Best wishes to you and the moms in your life on this Mother's Day!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.com
