My Mom, Mother & Son Art

I was going to tell you how I travel up and down Macon Road daily so I took a photo of clouds while driving down Macon Road, but decided against using it on my M post for ABC Wednesday M is for... today. I also pass by a Marathon gas station sometimes 4 times a day some days. I pass by a MEA Federal Credit Union at least once a day. Then there is Macon Road BBQ which I don't eat there. Then there is Milgen Road and the Milgen Road post office I frequent. Everyday mundane, boring stuff.

I have had a pack of peanut M & M's on the console of car for days as well as Don's mail he wanted me to mail for him. Its a miracle that the M & M 's haven't melted. I am sure somone else will use
M & M 's today.

I took a lot of cloud photos this week. One of them was of the McDonald's golden arches in the sky, but I refrained from using it here.

I had a complaint about Macy's department store, but changed my mind about voicing it here. Needless to murmur, I have paid off my account and will NOT be shopping at Macy's anymore. Yes, I was that mad. One credit card paid off which is a good thing. One less bill to pay. Yea, Man!

Actually I found the M words rather boring around here and did not want to use most of them. This time I looked in the phone book instead of the dictionary for M words. There I discovered The Mandarin House had moved into the old Mellow Mushroom location. They had the best Mandarin chicken years ago. It made me want some for my midday meal. Maybe I'll just go to Mongolian BBQ instead. Yet I did not want to this post to be about places to have a meal unless it was an outstanding one.

Mostly I wanted this post to be about my mom who I happen to think is THE best mom in the world. She has always made sacrifices for me. Mom has shown me what love is all about. My mom has always been there for me no matter what. Even when my friends and boyfriends failed me for some reason or let me down, mom was always there to pick up the pieces. She is the strongest woman I know which has lead me to be a strong woman as well. She taught me there is nothing I cannot do. I love my mom very, very much. I don't know what I would do without her and dread finding out. So this post is dedicated to my mom.

 

I thought after writing about my mom, that would be it for my M words, but alas, it is not. Last night there was nothing on tv after 9 pm. Rhett is out on spring break and was a bit bored yesterday. So I had this idea in my mind... I took a large off white colored piece of construction paper, folded it into fourths. I asked Rhett if he wanted to do something with me. He was game. I told him about Leah's project of drawing something using both hands with our eyes closed. We tried to do this on his table in the living room but Don had the tv so loud we could not remain in the living room. So we got on our bed in our bedroom.

I am not sure he had his eyes closed the entire time while he attempted to draw stick figures because I was so into mine, I didn't look at him. Even my left-handed drawing look more immature than his side. I'd try a few marks, then stop, place my marker where I left off and move the marker more. I really wasn't making anything, especially on the left side. At that moment we stopped closing our eyes and just drew and drew and drew. I definetly made some neat images I really liked on mine on the right side. I took a photo of it this morning and decided to call it "Mother and Son Art". Rhett thought this was so cool. He said he didn't know art could be so much fun. So I was really glad we did this magical project together.

Mine feels like it is incomplete. I am sure I can still work on it some more. Being the perfectionist that I am, I know I will. In fact I add some more black and colored the woman's hair silver which is not in this photo. It reminded me of another piece of artwork I did when I was attempting to make a Christmas present for Steph's and Amanda's home. It is unfinished too which is why I have not made a picture of it in case you were wondering.

May you have found many, many M 's today but I am afraid none of them will compare to my last two M's in my book. I wouldn't trade them for all the money in the world.If you would like to participate in ABC Wednesday,please go to the following:
