This Moment: my parents

{This Moment}

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember via Soulemama.

* oh, and a link for your weekend reading from the wise Aldra at Consciously Frugal, speaking to a topic dear to my heart: spend less or earn more?

    When I saw your description over at SouleMama, I was thinking that I would find some cute, frail old people. NOT! Looks like you live in a really great place….

    How lovely! Awesome to see them helping one another over the ditch, jumping with the energy of their grandkids. No wonder you have such a sense of adventure! Have a wonderful Mother’s Day and enjoy those beautiful mountain views.

    Well aren’t they just spunky and spry? One should expect no less from parents if yours, I suppose! I hope you’ve had a lovely Mother’s Day weekend thus far!
