Memories...

When I saw this picture on Pixabay it brought back a rush of memories. I find that pictures and music both affect me this way.
This particular picture brought back little snippets of memories of my mother-in-law. She past away two years ago and she is greatly missed.
It brought back memories of the best chicken and dumplings I ever had, me driving in circles with her in the front seat while I was learning how to drive a stick shift.
It made me hungry for the freshly baked bread she made every Sunday. I long for the days when she would dance around the kitchen with a wooden spoon as a microphone while singing her favorite country song of the moment.
Why, you might ask, does a picture of a lighthouse bring back these memories? She loved lighthouses and anything to do with the sea.

She sounds like quite the lady. I miss my mom and grams that way. I don't think I have ever seen a lighthouse up close, only in the distance or in pictures.

I do too love lighthouses and the sea.
It is so good you remember her in such a good way Susan.
It is nice too when someone not only gets along with their Mother in Law but loves her too.
RIP

@HazySue I realized afterwards when my mother in law passed that I actually got along with her better than her own blood.

I also love lighthouses. My late husband and I used to visit as many as we could. We took a whole weekend to visit as many New Jersey lighthouses as we could find. It was all so much fun. Love that photo And I love your memories of her. She is smiling down on you and lighting your way as you go.
