Reading, writing, watching either really good or really bad TV, cooking, wine, travel, golf, running, celebrity gossip (can't help myself), and, this one's a biggie, my french bulldog Duffer.Music

Election, Godfather I & II, Groundhog Day, Sideways, Silence of the Lambs, Working Girl, Shawshank Redemption, Say Anything, Saturday Night Fever, Princess Bride, Rear Window, Edward Scissorhands, American Beauty, Juno. Anything with Maggie Gyllenhaal, who in my greatest fantasies adapts the Samantha Kincaid series.Television

I get in trouble if I don't name every one of my friends, but I am fond of other writers with the last name Burke.Heroes
People I meet everyday who find small ways to make the world a better place (Say it all together now..."Awwww.")

Hi Alafair,
Thanks for having me as a friend!
Thanks for adding me as a friend! I'm trying to catch up on my summer reading and just finished Dead Connection and starting on Angel's tip! so far love Ellie, but can't wait for another Samantha Kincaid book! :)
Mothers and daughters; what greater love can one find, than the love a mother gives.
I am blessed to have had a truly WONDERFUL mother and grandmother. My memories of growing up are ‘truly special,’ as my mother and I had such a close relationship.
I remember, even as a small child, always looking into my mother’s eyes and seeing unconditional love. I knew if I was in her arms, or just talked to her, all my fears and pain would fade away…like a ‘magical potion’ had erased any hurt the world could give.
I always thought my mother was the ‘most beautiful’ woman I have ‘ever’ known, both inside and out.
My mother was a wonderful artist, and we spent many hours sitting and drawing together, even when I was an adult. We could talk about everything and anything…as we shared in a ‘VERY SPECIAL BOND,’ as understood one another.
The words of wisdom she imparted have remained with me to this day. For she ‘always’ advised me what she ‘knew’ to be best, as no one has ever known me as well.
TODAY is a day to celebrate mothers…so if you are far away, or if you had an arguments, don’t let that keep you from doing something ‘special’ for her, as the time you have with her is short…and you may never get another opportunity to tell her, “HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HER!”
My mother passed away 23 years ago…and I wish today, I could tell her just HOW MUCH LOVE I will ALWAYS hold in my heart for her….
GO CELEBRATE MOTHERS TODAY….
HUGS,
Mary
