Mary Jane (Grams) Scruggs on her school steps"Down by the schoolyard......."

On a recent trip back to my mom's hometown, Burkittsville, MD, I snapped this picture of her at her old elementary school. Mom had told me the story of how she would sit on the steps and wait for her father to pick her up. I really enjoy hearing about the things that my Mom did with her parents. It sounds like her life was full of love, laughs and good times.

It seemed only fitting to ask Mom to sit on those steps one more time. She will have her 80th birthday on September 1, 2011.

What a treat this was for me to be at this place -- at this time -- with my Mom, Mary Jane (Grams) Scruggs.

What special memories have you been fortunate to relive with your parents?
