Beautiful photo - she reminded me of my own mom whom I miss dearly.

*baguette/wand*

Explain please, for those of us who are uninformed.

And yes, you and your mom have much in common.

Mom loved the French language so would call them lavender baguette. Baguette means wand or stick. : )
She fell completely in love with my DIL, who speaks French. They would have conversations and sing little French songs together. They would sit together and listen to the songs of Édith Piaf.

Oh how sweet! That's a nice thing to remember!

The word Baguette makes me want to eat some crusty, fresh out of the oven with a ton of butter on it.

Seriously, I love your story, Lynn!

The smelled good enough to eat. Well almost.

Loved it all, girl....Great Garden art...

Charleen, go start a link and show us your garden art. http://garden.org/forums/view/...

Lynn, I did a How to-
The thread "Polymer Clay Garden Stake Tutorial" in Garden Art forum
How about this....

Lynn, I too love that caterpillar best, but I also truly enjoyed the memories you shared of your mother.

Loved the pictures, Lynn! Loved the memories, too.
J'adore Edith Piaf aussi.
Et baguettes.
Et la Francais.
(But my computer doesn't have the little curly cidilla (?) that goes under the c in Francais to soften it.)

It's Alt+0231, Sharon. Hold down the alt button and type 0231 in sequence. ç

Ummmm Marylyn....you don't have a Mac, do you?
Going to do a search, though, I'll figure it out.
Thanks.

Thank you Sandi. I love the memories I have of my mom. : )

Sharon I did not learn to speak french. I may know a few words here and there. My DIL even tried to teach me, that and Arabic. I'm doing good to know a little English.
Yes, I did learn to love Edith Piaf also. : )
I have never had a desire to go to France. My DIL wants to take me. Not so much. I did love Lebanon though.

Oh... sorry, Sharon! I forgot you had a Mac. You still should be able to get the cedilla, though... it comes with the fonts, not the computer. Hmm... aha!

From http://desktoppub.about.com/cs...:

Cedilla accent marks are found on the upper and lower case letter C as in Ç ç

On a Mac, hold down Opt while typing the letter c for ç or Opt plus Shift plus C for the Ç to create cedilla accent marks.

çççççççç Oh yayyyyy....Thanks Marylyn.
