I created this page so you could see the photos of my Mom.
The photos on this page are of Christmas this year, 2005.

Please forgive the TERRIBLE quality of the photos.
Rick accidently hit a button on the camera and it made ALL the photos dark.

My Dad took photos with his camera so they should have come out perfect.
Once they are developed and he sends them to me I'll replace some of the ones on this page.

For years my Mom has admired the art of Thomas Kinkade.
Every time she would go shopping she would stop by the Art Gallery and look at his art.
She has never been able to afford to buy anything, but it has been a dream of hers forever it seems.
Since becoming ill Mom has often talked about her wish that she could have been able to buy a piece.

Rick and I talked it over and we decided to make my Mom's dream come true this Christmas if possible.
I told my family I wouldn't be get them anything for Christmas...
... and that instead I was going to use my Prescription money...
... and whatever else I can spare and get my Mom a very special present for Christmas. :)

And that is just WHAT we did!!!

I realize that Mom won't be able to enjoy it very long, but enjoy it she will!!!!! :)

Thanks to the help of some TRULY KIND and CARING people I was able to get the print for Mom!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH "Connie" and "Tammy"!!!!  You are two VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE!!!!

So the next series of photos are of Mom and her Kinkade Print we got her for Christmas.  :)
