More New Pages...

I just loved the page "Colour Brightens My Day" by ACountryRose, which can be found in the gallery at Deco-Pages... http://board.deco-pages.com/showphoto.php/photo/20816 I had to use it as a guide for this page for the Gallery Hunt Challenge. I used RMD Cozy Comfort kit recolored and altered frame with my flourish and butterfly from the Mother's Day Mega Kit for Club Deco Members ... I also altered the color and opacity of the elements.

Randy Travis - Angels

Me and some of the boys

Were sitting around the other night

Started talking about politics, religion

Love of life

And what a shame it was about 9-11

And what about Hell

And what about Heaven

And is there or isn't there

Angels here on earth

And then one guy said

Well, you can take that for what it's worth

If it's something I can see or something I can touch

Hell, I might believe in all that stuff.


So, I just had to say to him

Are you telling me

You've never seen an angel

Never felt the presence

Of one standing by

No robe of white

No halo in sight

Well, you missed the most obvious thing

Man are you blind

Just look in your mother's eyes.


And then I said

Who went through the pain

And smiled through the tears on the day of your birth

She counted your fingers and toes

And thanked God you were whole

Son, you oughta know who loved you first.

That's right.


And who always came runnin'

Everytime you cried out

And how many more things have you forgotten about

And who tried their best

To teach you wrong from right

And how many nights

Did she leave on the light

While she waited and prayed

Till you came in?

And who'll be there for ya

Right up to the end.


Think about it man.

Are you telling me

You've never seen an angel

Never felt the presence

of one standing by

No robe of white

No halo in sight

Well. you missed the most obvious thing

Ah, man are you blind

Just look in your mother's eyes.

Ah, man are you blind

Just look in your mother's eyes.

That's right...

My Mom loved her family. Blood was thicker than water... and no matter what you had, you always had enough for family if they needed you. I remember cousins living with us when we were younger. I remember spending hours driving from Indiana to New York to be with family for the holidays. My poor Mom and three brats (my brothers and I) fighting all the way. She was not perfect, but she was my Mom, and I loved her very much. I wish I had been a better Daughter to her... but I know she loved me, and forgave me my shortcoming. I remember when Matthew was born, she drove all night from New York so she could be here to see him the next day. She was so excited to see her first Grandchild. I wish she had had more time with him, and he had gotten to know her better. I miss you.... MomNo matter how small or how blurry, any photo I have of my Mom is a treasure to me. This is one of the few photos I have of her. It was taken in the 1970s when we lived in Texas.


I decided to take a peak and see if anyone was at home... I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Momma Robin in her nest. I had seen the Daddy out in the yard, so I guess I did not expect her to be on the nest... but here she was... just as quiet as could be. I was a little surprised she didn’t attack me... but she let me try to take several photos... this was the best one I got... I didnot want to get to close... I did not want to overstay my welcome or scare her.
