Blessed with family

In this picture are my Grandparents, Great Aunts, Aunties, Uncles, Mom, Step Dad, cousins, my brother and my good daughter.  I was so blessed with family to love and be loved by from the beginning.

Sadly 10 of these beautiful people have since passed on.  They left behind a wealth of love, wisdom, strength, and laughter for me to draw from when life is not giving me it's best.

Those that are still with me are my touchstones.  My base, my heart and soul.

I hope you have been or will be so blessed,

Thursday past

I had to put my beloved dog Princess down. It was just as hard as it was putting down Pooh Bear two years ago. On top of that I had an allergic reaction to the vet's office. My eyes were swollen shut.

I keep thinking that I'll see her poking around and getting into things she shouldn't. She was a master at making herself seem smaller than she actually was when she was caught. My mind knows she's in a better place, but my heart hurts from the hole that is left in it.

Sleep well Princess. I hope you and Pooh Bear are together again, and having the time of your after lives.

Missing you soooooo much.

Easter 2010

Not at all like I thought I'd spend the day, but it was a nice slow day.  Did some cleaning, packing, shopping, planting and watched a little HGTV.  Most of the day was spent with music and memories playing in the background and in my head.

Didn't reach my goal of having the entire upstairs cleaned and packed away.  The good part is that I will probably finish it up during the week.

Leaving you with a rendition of Crazy Love.  One of my favorite songs when sung, by Van Morrison, Aaron Neville, Ray Charles & Van Morrison and yes Brian McKnight

Hoping your Easter was/is as blessed as my own.

Look who's Two!
