Yesterday was awesome outside and hoping for more of the same. Have not listened to the weather yet. I suspect a very hot and humid , flea and tick infestation again this summer.No winter to speak of this past year, so that is normally what happens. The ac is out in our car, and trying to find the money to repair before the real heat sets in. Hope you all have a blessed day
Another quick hello, I hope your Sunday is going well, ours is all but over, we had another lovely day in the sun after an early thunderstorm. A drive to a 15th century monastery built in a cliff, and a wonderful cascade of waterfalls in the middle of nowhere. I will post photos when we get back on Thursday.
Good Morning one and all. I am happy to say that we are making wonderful progress on my daughter's house and should be on our way back to Louisiana this Wednesday! My son-in-law will stay and work at his job and finish up the inside paint touch ups, etc. and either by Friday or this coming weekend the Realtor should be able to come and take the pictures of their home and put it up for sale. I had to laugh when my oldest daughter called yesterday and asked what I wanted for Mother's Day. I told her that God was blessing me with the greatest gift ever already and that would be having all my daughters and grandkids back in the same City once again! And that is the truth! With everyone having alot on their plates right now, my daughters and I have decided to put aside our Mother's Day celebration together until things are calmed down and settled...and then my daughters and I will go out to eat and to a movie....or do some shopping for our gifts. I feel like l am really racking up this Mother's Day anyway with my daughter and her family moving home, an all expense paid trip to the beach with two of my daughters and the grandkids, and knowing this New Year is finally turning for the better with my health and for all my family member.s This morning we probably have a new baby girl in our family. My sister called last night but I was sleeping so my daughter left a big note in the bathroom telling me that my sister's daughter-in-law's water broke last night and so this morning I will be waiting to hear all the details on our new little girl that has probably already joined the family! It's a blessed day...let's all enjoy it in every way!
No new little one yet...last news Mom to be was 7 CC's dilated...and doing fine. This is my Nephew and his wife's first baby....excitement is definitely in the air for all of us.
You are blessed indeed to have your wishes come true! I don't think I'll ever have my kids in one city. I'm happy for you. I'm avoiding Mother's Day this year and although my daughter's birthday is the 15th and Mother's Day is the 14th...I decided to stay home. This is the first Mother's Day without my Mom and it will be a hard day for me and I don't want to bring down anybody else that day. Im going there on the 24th anyway because it's my oldest grandson's HS graduation. Oops, meant to quote @Babs Hunt ...
I am sending hugs and prayers for you, @Chrissy Cross . I remember how hard it was for me the first Mother's Day after I lost my mom and dad that spring. I lost both of them in March,1988, and so Mother's Day was soon after that. I went to church, but when they started having the special program, I had a meltdown and had to just leave church and go home. Even though it has now been almost 30 years, I still think of my mom when I see lilacs, bleeding hearts, and peonies (she loved flowers) and more and more often, she shows up in my dreams. I know that I will never have all of my kids close by either; and even Robin often has to work away from home. For us, most special days are just regular days, and I have gotten used to that. You are lucky that you are able to travel and see your family, Chrissy. I wish that I could do that sometimes, too.
Thanks Yvonne, nobody has it perfect that's for sure, guess all we can do is make the best of how things are. If you dwell on what's missing, then you'll just get depressed. I see my daughter and her boys enough, can't complain but my son and the 3 little ones who aren't so little anymore I see twice a year at most...but it could be worse.
I'm sorry it will be a hard day for you @Chrissy Cross, I pray our Father will send you peace and the wonderful gift of cherished memories you had with your Mom and that your heart will know joy instead of sorrow as He fills you with His love and your Mom's. I pray this prayer for all of you who may be without your Mom's this year as I will be without mine too. May we all feel the love and joy our Mom's brought to not only our lives but to our children's and grandchildren's too.
Adeline is here! (middle name not chosen yet) She arrived around 10:35 am and weighed 6lbs, 9oz....Mom and baby are both fine and so happy to be together outside the womb now. And Dad is full of joy too! Welcome to our family sweet baby girl.
We are also expecting a baby in our family...my niece in Colorado will have a GIRL in August. My middle sister's first grandchild.
Just flitting in again to wish you all well, another long day in the sun, and tomorrow our last day here will be a long drive back to Sarajevo, about 250 miles to be near the airport for our flight back to Russia on Wednesday morning.
