Memorial Day in the Rear View Mirror
Jennie complains each Memorial Day that every photo we take at her family's cemetery shows her bending over, working on the decorations. She doesn't think that is a flattering pose.

Just to set the record straight, I found one photo of her from 2007 where she is not bending over...yet.

Cameron's Photo Timeline
Crystal posted Cameron's School Photo Record to Instagram today...
This is a neat idea and sure triggers a lot of memories.
Somehow it seems just a bit too formal for me though, too cleaned up, too posed. This just isn't the Cameron I remember. The little stinker I remember looks more like this...

Cemetery Wild Flowers
Jennie, Matt and I went to the Ford's Branch Cemetery this weekend to begin preparing for Memorial Day. The grave sites of Mom's Cousin Laurla and her children were covered with little yellow wildflowers.
They are so pretty it almost seems a shame to mow them.

Jennie's Mother's Day
Jennie had a memorable Mother's Day yesterday.
From Bryan, she received a nice card and a pair of pajamas.
From Erik, she got an original, handwritten and heartwarming poem.
I think there are some "StalkerClan Lessons" for all the Stalker, Potter, Coffey, Ratliff, Schell and other kids here:

From Matt, she got a card, a buffet dinner at Peking and a special gift... he gave her a big hug instead of the usual pat-on-the-back she has gotten in years past.
(No photos of the hug were allowed.)

I think there are some "StalkerClan Lessons" for all the Stalker, Potter, Coffey, Ratliff, Schell and other kids here:
- First, pajamas are always a great gift for Mom. When she goes to bed and when she wakes up, she will be reminded of you.
- Secondly, anything from the heart will be cherished by her. It doesn't have to rhyme, but it's especially nice when it does.
- Finally, hug your Mom every chance you get. The day will come when you can't hug her anymore, and that will really hurt. Believe me, I know.
