Buttercup and Mom, Winter, 1951
I know I'm a little late to the party, but I've spent the last several hours looking at photographs. I've used this picture for a number of Mother's Day posts and I thought I'd find a different picture that I liked as well. After going through the drawer where I keep family photographs I realized that the reason this is the perennial Mother's Day picture is simple. I really like it. So once again, I give you Squirmy Baby Buttercup and Mom.
I had a busy, busy weekend attending the graduation of my college roommate's daughter. Fun, festive and filled with people I love. Congratulations, dear Hannah! Every happy wish for the future.
We had glorious sunshine for graduation,
which was so fortunate, as it was rain or shine and outdoors.
Somehow we are now in the middle of May. Not quite sure how the first four months of 2019 went by in a flash. My "trip of 2019" begins in exactly two weeks and this time on Sunday, May 26 I will be almost half way across the Atlantic. I'll share details in a post later this week. Excited doesn't describe my mood. I'll be seeing blog buddies and visiting sights that have long been on my to-see list. I'm sharing this trip with a college friend and we've had a great time making plans for our long-awaited trip of dreams.
The weather in New York has reverted back to winter -- 45 degrees right now and the same predicted for tomorrow. I've got my second water aerobics class tomorrow afternoon and right now I'm dreaming of the pool. It's kept at a very cozy temperature and I'm looking forward to class and then swimming laps. It's tough to find a pool that's not crowded in New York City, but my own Y has one and for an hour every day it's devoted to active older adults. I discovered this treasure last week and I'm thrilled. I bought a new pair of goggles and I'm ready for to my swim tomorrow. What are you looking forward to this week?
As ever, thanks for visiting. Take care and have a great week!

What a sweet picture! Sorry about the weather up there, it was a rainy one here but the rain is gone. Enjoy your day and go get your swim on:) HUGS!
The weather here in Pennsylvania is the same. Gloomy and cold and wet. Everything is beautifully green though.
Can't wait to hear about your trip!
I love the picture of you and your mom. Here the weather is much the same...How wonderful to have a trip ahead to look forward to. I'm looking forward to some drier and warmer days. We do have a community pool here, but it is not heated, so there is never a crowd. Our days are just too cool. They open Memorial Day weekend and I've yet to make use of it since I've lived here. We'll see how it goes this year.
