Ending The Estate Sale
Wow. I am still finding the words to describe the past 72 hours. Add on to it this morning’s events and the drive to our destination this evening. After our delicious supper we are all enjoying some relaxation tonight. Then I was able to exchange a few texts with my boyfriend. It was the icing…

Day 2
Again as I drove up from the Pleasantville Road to Grandma’s house we were actually a little bit late today. We got there at 8 am, but on the last leg towards the house the Sunrise was absolutely stunning. From earth the peach color nuanced to pink and harshly turned to a purple. If I…

Relaxation
This is Grandma Betty at the back door that is now her breezeway. This bloom is from the front of her house. Today has been quite a day. Unfortunately I slept in a bit more than I intended. Walking helped though. I needed my time, 40 minutes, in the fresh air. Tuesday was a stressful…

Play Time: A Preadolescent
Fortunately this playtime was a little bit different than my usual ones. Although a little bit odd in ways for a young girl on the cuff of becoming a teenager. Yet we are somewhat similar in a disconcerting way. Not once but twice now this young lady has surprised me with her ideas and stories.…

Screen Time
My eyes are getting tired of staring at screens. My photos of what I need to research are on my phone and there are too many of them to individually put onto my laptop. The screen on my phone is driving me batty, but I am making progress. I have to say though it’s really…

Uncles
The electricity was on and everything was fun otherwise, so I couldn’t understand why I had no internet last night. It worked fine until nearly 4 pm. Then when I returned from Mom’s flower shopping spree and eating it was as if the Wi-Fi was unplugged. How ironic to use that word, since it was…

Care Taking
Today I walked past a bathroom stall. Memories from over three years ago came to mind. There are times when taking care of the ones you love can be difficult. Isn’t that what family does for family though? Love is a verb. Taking care of the ones who took care of you as a child…

Facebook Memories…
Over the previous week a few of my past posts have been showing up on my notifications. I have mentioned one of the posts a couple days ago. Today we knew we had to say goodbye to my Uncle Mike. The timing has been like a sucker punch to the gut with my Aunt’s passing…

Thoughts of Peach Flowers
These are all photos of one Rose. One of the roses pulled from Aunt Carol’s flowers above her casket. I love the color of this flower. Different angles and lighting give it some nuances in each photo. Like Aunt Carol did. I didn’t realize how similar we were. I did know she liked to cook…

Second “Wedding Shower” Photo
When I took these photos I missed one of the cards that was still in the envelope Grandma wrote on. This is the invite to the ‘Wedding Shower’ at Grandma’s Church. There’s a lot of gifts on that table. My parents both have better cursive writing than I do. Looking through these pieces of history…
