May 2012 Mother's Day and Sylvia Update


Today I am celebrating the "jobs" I am doing- to the best of my ability; wife, mom and “Nana”.   Thank you to my children and their spouses for the nice thoughts and gifts. And, Kristin- what a wonderful lunch!  I enjoyed my time with you and your mom!  I am so glad I have such a wonderful family!

For those who are missing my segment on KTRS 550 Inside Out Show, thank you for so many kind comments and for understanding my decision to withdraw from the radio show’s weekly segment.  It’s been over a month now and I continue to listen and enjoy-I hope you all do the same!

The truth is, they have it well covered and my contribution, though appreciated was taking time from others in my industry who need to be able promote their businesses.  My wish is that our listeners will continue to enjoy the show! 

Thank you to those on the show and those who continue to stay in touch.  I am still happily connected with Lisa at Oma’s Barn where I receive love and caring support from friends, along with some occasional “horticulture therapy’ which truly warms my heart!  Last week I planted fairy gardens, shared a few stories and made a huge mess!  

PS  For all of you who have tried to help me find my friend, Sylvia, I just wanted you to know prayers still get answered!  We have been out of touch for more than 5 years due to a computer crash and postal issues!

 – It ends up that Friday, Sylvia came into town from Rolla, stopped in at a few nurseries she hadn’t been to before, heard a voice that reminded her of me, turn to see my beautiful Holly-all grown up, behind the counter at Greenscape!  Sylvia had to ask if she was my Holly (last time she saw her she was probably less than 10 and she’s married now).  It was a special moment on Friday evening when Holly told me Sylvia had talked to her AND realized our connection!  Today was even more special as Sylvia and I “ re”-connected and talked and cried and cried and talked!
