We finished our funeral leave and arrived home late Friday night. Visitation (wake for those not Southern) was long for the younger crew, for the last hour I took them for ice cream while Daddy stayed to finished greeting. The local McD’s is slooooow & I hadn’t been to the hometown for years so a trip […]

On her first birthday

Posted a bit late.
On her first birthday, she went to the park:

Played in the water…

Checked it all out…

Thought it all over…

 

Found it all fine…

 

Fed some small fishes…

Had a good time.

Counted her candles…

Looked at some gifts…

Helped out the Momma….

Tasted the cake…

It too was fine.

Ended with ice cream.

Bye-bye…

Well, it seems we will be moving in the not so distance future. DH has been wanting to move closer to his father - an hour+ drive is just too much, esp. since his mother has passed on.

Lessons Learned

So today we went and looked at a home with lots of space but only 2 acres.
And chiggers.
Which […]
