your inner peace for anything whatsoever,
even if your whole world seems upset.”

Godspeed, Dear Mother
In the early morning hours my mother, Marian, peacefully slipped away to spend eternity in the Church Triumphant. She lived a humble life, focusing on simple things. She liked John Wayne movies, Louis L’Armour books, Willie Nelson’s braids, and Johnny Cash music. From her backyard swing, she’d feed wandering squirrels, ambitious chipmunks, and hungry birds. Purple irises and pink hollyhocks lined the wooden fence every Spring. With a youthful spirit, she loved board games, playing cards, and walking on wooden stilts. Her favorite fragrance was “Tabu” perfume and she wore it as long as I can remember. She was everything you love about life. Godspeed. I love you, Mom. 💕🍃🌸
A Cottage on the Shore
“Everyone can identify with a
fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset,
with the quiet of nature, with a
warm and cozy cottage.”
~ Thomas Kinkade
A Simple Life
“Living in a rural setting
exposes you to so many marvelous things –
the natural world and the particular
texture of small town life, and
the exhilarating experience of open space.”
~ Susan Orlean
