I'm not blogging much anymore...have been busy on a project, but also have been dealing with a neck injury which makes sitting at the computer for long periods of time impossible. I had committed to co-hosting a blogathon in honor of Tyrone Power's 100th birthday, and I didn't want to bail on that, so 3 of my last 4 blog pieces were about that. <br /><br />Anyhow, for Mother's Day I made my mom a photo collage. I've entitled it "A Chain of Mothers and Daughters," and it includes photos of 6 generations of mothers and daughters. My daughter/me; me/my mom; my mom/grandma; grandma/great-grandma; great-grandma/2nd great grandma. The photos range from 1913 to 2012. Each woman in that line had only 1 child (a daughter) or 2 children (the first of which was a daughter). My mom is going to love this gift.<br /><br />Hope all is well with you.Patti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412682543148147625.post-14747922498992853292014-05-07T00:30:13.334-05:002014-05-07T00:30:13.334-05:00Hi Carol!

Soon after my memoir came out, I discovered it's not available on Amazon's Australian site, which I think is very strange, because it's on the UK site! I don't remember what the explanation from Amazon was.....Hopefully, if your daughter WOULD like to read it, it can be found at a reasonable price. I imagine the Kindle version would be "cheaper" to get, right??!! :)<br />Oh, and I had to look in the dictionary for "frangipani," because I hadn't heard of it before. (I really don't know much about flowers, other than what I'd call the "regular" ones....roses, tulips, marigolds, etc!) But, I can certainly understand why you love the aroma of it.....plumeria!
