Dianne, what a surprise find you here, how nice, am having coffee and dumking it with Darus' biscotti, don't eat much for breakfast either.

I had a wondeful MILwho almost became my own since I left my own mother when I came to this country to marry my husband, Richard.
When he left Vienna to go hime I received a letter from her that started off with: "Good morning, Maria, my son wrote to me he met a girl while in Vienna and that her name is Maria , I hope to hear from you soon and according to Richard, who will be home soon, I will meet you one day for he wishes to marry you.........." She helped me in any way she could, introduced me to many people, took me shopping and most of all she was an avid gardener and taught me all iI know about flowers, shrubs and trees. I still have many flowers she gave for my own, than new garden. She also kneew every bird that resides in our neighbor hood. To this day I miss her.

An early picture of Richard, myself and his mother. Those were the good days
