MOTHER'S DAY FLOWERS FOR YOU...
MOTHER'S DAY FLOWERS FOR YOU...
HAPPY PINK SATURDAY
Mom was just 17 in this photo..
She was born and raised in East Texas...
and every bit a Southern lady.
She's been gone for 23 years and
we all still miss her so much..
She was an awesome cook..
She made the best CHICKEN AND DUMPLINS, ever !
They were always my favorite meal so, of course,
they have always been my
#1 comfort food.

When I get really lonely for her, I go to the store, buy a fat hen, boil it, making the best broth..
then, the dumplins are made from scratch.
When I sit down with a nice, hot bowl of them....seems like Mom is right beside me.

She ALWAYS saw to it that I got to pull the PULLY BONE...
She ALWAYS never let me forget that she loved me unconditionally.
She ALWAYS was there when I needed her.
SHE will ALWAYS be sorely missed.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOM

My mom and I always wished on the pully bone too. I share your sorrow. My mom passed away in 2000. She was my best friend.
Wishing you the best mothers day!
What an awesome tribute to your mother. She was indeed a special lady to have raised such a special daughter. Happy Mother's Day to you too BJ.
Hi Dear BJ! OH, your mother was so pretty and you look like her and have her smile! My mother is a cooker of chicken and dumplings too! :) Oh, I haven't heard the word 'pully bone' in a long time! I used to love to do that and so did my children.
Have a wonderful Mother's Day and let your heart be filled with the sweetest memories!
You are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
This is such a touching post. I hope you have a Very Happy Mother's Day! The Mother's Day flowers are lovely. Thank-you for sharing your memories of your mother with us!
Blessings!

Sweet post for your Mom, Beeej. Happiest of Mother's Days to you, my friend.
thankyou for the kind words on my blog,, I'll look forward to that post about the journal
Oh my goodness...I understand. My mother passed away three years ago and I when I am lonely for her I like to look through a folder of drawings that I have of hers, or read a note she hand wrote or something like that.
BJ,
Here's wishing you a Happy Mother's Day, too...my dearest blogging friend!
Fondly,
Pat
A lovely post.
Happy Mother's Day to you too!
Happy Pink Saturday!
Big Hugs

Beautiful flowers, yummy looking chicken and dumplings, and such sweet memories of your mom. She was a beautiful lady. And a wonderful mother.
What a lovely memory for you, and I share those same feelings. My Mom has been gone for eighteen years now. Thanks for the touching post. Wishing you a wonderful Mother's Day.......

What a lovely post about your mother! I also like the roses - did you compose that photo? If so, well done!
Happy Mother's Day!
P.S. I told you I'd stop by!
Happy Mother's Day!!
Thanks so much for this post and the chicken and dumplin's. Brought back memories of many "debates" with my sister and cousins over the "pullybone"!:-)
Hi, bj. I had a Follow Me button but I could never see it on y blog, didn't know if it was working so I took it down. I just put it back up but again I cannot see it so I do not know if it works or not. Lovely story about your mom's chicken dumplings (one of my sister's favorites as well). Thank you for stopping by. HPS!
What a sweet Mother's Day post! My Mama made delicious Chicken and Dumplins too and will be gone 23 years in September! Our hearts were breaking about the same time :( Have a blessed Mother's Day dear BJ as we remember our Precious Mamas!
HUGS!
Happy Mother's Day, BJ. Lovely picture of your mom. Now I know where you got your good looks.
What beautiful memories! Happy PS!
Hugs,
Jacalyn
Another touching post; really enjoyed reading this even if I cried a bit.
Happy Mother's Day to you too.

Thanks for sharing your special memories of your mom! Happy Mothers Day to you!
And a wonderful Mother's Day to you as well. Your mother sounds like the dearest lady; she certainly was a pretty one. When you write about her, I read l.o.v.e.
Beautiful tribute and gorgeous photos!!
You are the wonderful woman you are, in part because of this most special lady. Happy Mother's Day, Sweet BJ.
BJ,
That was really sweet...a great remembrance of your mother to make the chicken' dumplins. I hope you have the best day with your memories~ sometimes that's all we have!
That was the sweetest tribute to your mom, and it made me smile in my heart. I have certain comfort foods that make me think of mine, too.
I hope that you and your daughter and your daughter-in-law and your granddaughter ALL have a wonderful Mother's Day.
Our mothers had some things in common. Mine was from East Texas, made best ever chicken and dumplings and fried fruit pies. I can almost taste those pies now.
BJ, this is the sweetest post. Your mom was beautiful in the photo you shared. Just 17 and I thought I was all grown up at age 17. Silly girl!!!
I know your mom was a very special person just like mine. We were so blessed to have a childhood full of love and security. My mom has been gone 25 years and I too miss her so much. I am drooling over the chicken and dumplings. My mom was not the greatest cook but she was awesome at baking bread and making pies. What I would give for a slice of her pie. Any kind!
Happy Mother's Day my dear sister friend.
Love and hugs,
Jeanne xo
