Patti, Scot, Juli, John and I had to wait for a table but Juli knows a few tricks and got us one of the tall tables outside. We enjoyed being there
amongst the many other families honoring their mothers. A wonderful cool breeze added to the fun we enjoyed. I was happy to see two little girls at
a table right near us running around the area where their family sat. I “happened” to have some painted rocks in my purse and I gave
each little girl one. Their grandmother came over to our table to chat a few minutes. There were many more tables of families celebrating Mother’s Day.

and “this came from my purse” for each one. The river rocks are painted by Angie's friend, Debbie, in memory of her son.
If you cross a carrier pigeon with a woodpecker you get a bird that carries messages and knocks on the door when it arrives.
The real meaning of the little gift rocks is that they plan to honor me with a memory rock garden at The EmilyAnn Theatre in Popz's memorial garden.
My memory garden will be called “Momz's Blessing Stones” and will be filled with beautiful painted river stones. People who walk by can take
or leave a stone ... or two or three. That is so very sweet. I am truly blessed.
