My daughter Shannon loves teaparties but what I didn't know is she loves tadpoles. On Saturday she brought home about four tadpoles from one of our local rivers and she wants to raise them until they become frogs. We got them during an overnight camping trip and she just begged us to let her bring them home. So here we were on Saturday with tadpoles and we also has a tea party to go to. It's hard to believe that my little girlie girl can transform from this tadpole catching catching, snail collecting(yes she loves snails too) into a lovely lady dressed for tea. Actually she is lovely no matter how she is dressed. I'm sure if she weere allowed, she would have brought them to the tea party |

I know I haven't updated but I just haven't felt like posting since my mom died. I haven't started my garden yet and I'm really not sure if I will. I just don't have a green thumb but I may change my mind. I'm wondering about the Aero-garden I've seen on the TV where you grow strawberries,tomatoes etc in your kitchen counter. It sound's convincing but you just never know about those informercials. Our apricot trees has lot's of fruit and I can't wait to start making jam. That's my favorite thing to do each year and my family just loves it. I hoping to make a bunch of jars and I would like to put up some apricots for the fall and winter seasons. I'm grateful for what God has provided for us and our neighbors do to They like to take some fruit without asking but tha's okay. As long as they don't waste it or damage something trying to get to the fruit. I finally clean up my room enough to get to my sewing machine! I've been wanting to practce using the sewing machine but I hadn't been able because there was so much junk in front of it. Anyway, I can now actually do some of the lessons in my sewing books!

Thank you all for your notes and kind words. They have been very comforting but I have to share some upsetting news. It appears that the cemetery where my father was supposed to be buried at twenty-eight years ago can't find my dad and they say he is not buried at their cemetery. I know he has to be so either they are lying or the funeral home people are lying. How this can happen is anybody's guess. |

My mama passed away on Sunday February 10th at 5:15am. I'm so happy I got to see her the day before she passed and pray with her. I wish I had been given more time with her. I hate cancer. |

Thank you all for your words of comfort. They are so special to me. Tim finally told daughters about what was happening with their grandma. They took it so very hard and it was so heartbreaking to hear them cry. i spoke with the hospice nurse on the phone yesterday and I asked her how long my mother has but she said she didn't know. It depends "on the Man upstairs" She did say that when the time is near they will contact us. So part of me is thinking that maybe she won't die soon but I know I have to be realistic. She's not eating much or anything at all because she can't swallow well. She's not in any pain the hospice nurse said. I wonder how they come up with that? How do they know that she isn't in any pain? They don't feel what she's feeling and maybe she can't communicate that the pain is worse than birthing a 12 pound baby! Then there's this nagging question that keeps running through my mind. What will it be like for her to die? What exactly is going to happen during this process? When I found out Mama's cancer had returned I had hoped that she wouldn't suffer like she is now and that she would just go to sleep one night and not wake up. I know these are probably horrible thoughts but it's hard to see someone who was up and about in September and participating in life all of a sudden be be leaving us now? |
