An Evening at the Beach

Lake Worth, Florida – July 2007

Memories of a Florida trip summer of 2007 when Judy and I took Jasmine to meet Great Grandma Evelyn. Each day we tried to do a kid friendly activity as well as spend time with Mother. Judy and I enjoyed the adventures every bit as much as Jasmine did.

On our last night we stopped at Lake Worth Beach, waded in the evening surf  and devoured  ice cream cones from the shop across from the beach.

My Three Sons

My Three Sons

Eric, Michael and Steven Yackel

Louisville, Colorado – November 2007

One more day of indulgence as I share the three that taught me everything I didn’t know about mothering but I’m proud to call my three sons.

This picture was taken the last time all three were together which was for Aunt Liz’s funeral. Even on an extremely sad occasion we were thrilled and comforted to have them with us.

This Mother’s Day I was fortunate to have two of the three along with Michael’s special lady, Stephanie, spend time with us. Plus a nice call from Spokane. For years I’ve said Mother’s Day is my least favorite holiday. This year was different; I close the day with a warm heart and a smile.


Happy Mother’s Day

Since today is Mother’s Day I felt it appropriate to post a picture of my mother taken on her 97th birthday last July.

Happy Mother’s Day to mothers everywhere.
