My daughter Tava is here visiting, she arrived last Friday but has been visiting friends and her Mom, she will be back today but is leaving Sunday night, short visit yes, but at least we get to see her and my granddaughters, Kelsey and Alexis, it’s been two years.

A lady who has been a part of lives for a long time has passed away, rest in peace Dorothy, you will be missed.

It’s still doing nothing but raining here….pretty much sucks, we haven’t been able to do any fun summer stuff. Hopefully it will be over soon.

Well here I sit, I was asleep but the phone woke me up, darn telemarketers. Now I’m playing on the computer trying to get sleepy. I didn’t sleep well last night either. I think maybe I’m excited, Tava will be here this weekend and I can’t wait, two years is way too long away from my kid, and granddaughters.

I cleaned today, went out and cut some lilacs to bring in, they smell so good.

I think I will try to go to bed now, maybe since it’s finally dark I can sleep.

Wow, haven’t posted since March, I’m really doing badly this year. I’m doing ok, still working, aches and pains from getting older. I try to ignore it most the time.
Kids are doing fine, Tava will be up here visiting in a week, she can only stay a week though and that sucks.
Kelsey, and my two nieces graduated from high school doesn’t seem possible, and my grandson is getting married in July….wow time flies.
We have tried to get together with the kids every other weekend, it’s been nice. I had a great Mother’s day and birthday, we ate and went to the movie, I haven’t been to the movies for years and years, it was a bit overwhelming at first, but we got used to it….we saw Star Trek which I loved, and Terminator Salvation, which was pretty good….next I want to see Transformers, and then Harry Potter….it’s fun I enjoy any time that I can spend with my kids.
So the weather sucks again this year, probably no more fishing until July….Lynn has done well this year, we decided to break his new fishing pole…lol.
Guess that’s all, life is so exciting sometimes…haha…I’m just happy I’m still here.

The past couple of weeks has brought tragedy to our small town. A car accident took the life of a teacher, father, grandfather, coach. Then an avalanche took the lives of 3 men, all of the town knew, or knew part of their families, times like these hit a small town hard, because we are all connected one way or another. You went to school with some, your child dated another’s child, we are connected.
I thank God I live in this small community where everyone cares, where all is familiar. Yesterday there was a benefit for one of ours who has cancer, it’s not the first benefit, it’s one of many. The turn outs are great, we are here for one another. It’s small town life, with it’s sorrows and triumphs.
I am blessed by those who love and care about me, I have so much. My heart goes out to those who have lost their loved ones, I understand your pain. My prayers are with you.
