May….hmmmm, so many things….my granddaughter’s b’day, the first signs of Spring reminding me of God and his faithfulness…”morning by morning new mercies I see”, Mother’s Day and the opportunity to be grateful for my 87 yr old mom who has Alzheimer’s. We don’t really have conversations anymore, but she still knows me and for that I am so grateful. Yep, so many things to love about May!

Not only was I born in the merry month of May, but when I was five yrs old, one week before my birthday, my parents brought home a new baby brother.
