Today, I went to Georgetown to spend the afternoon with my sweet sister Teresa & her beautiful girls & grandchildren-all from the Ogden area--along with Dad & Jean & Mark & Chantal. Jean had the house decorated so cute with Christmas knick-knacks all over the place! She is such a fun person!!! Dad is so lucky to be spending his last years with her--she just has a way of making every day be an adventure. Anyway, the kids are growing up so fast!! I was thinking that I didn't remember when the last time was that I saw them all together. Then, I remembered that it was probably Lucy's first birthday party at Bullwinkle--someone, please correct me if I'm wrong. Could it really have been over a year ago?!? What is wrong with us? We live close enough that we should get all of the little cousins together at least once a month! At least in the summer--winter roads can be iffy. Anywayyyy, it was wonderful to see them all. They are such beautiful children!! We are so lucky to have healthy, beautiful grandchildren! God has been extremely kind to us! When I left Dad & Jean's house, I went to the cemetery to leave a pine swag at Mom's grave. It was so peaceful & quiet at the cemetery. There was hardly a breeze. I didn't even put my boots on as Chantal had suggested!! She is such a wuss!! What was on the road at the cemetery couldn't even be called mud compared to what I'm used to at Bullwinkle!! I became quite melancholy as I was putting the wire on the swag to make sure it didn't fly off of the post during the next blizzard. I just really miss my Mom!! She's been gone for 6 years now--will I ever stop missing her? She left us way too soon--there was so much more I wanted to share with her! Where-ever you are Mom, I hope you are at peace, happy, & having one hellofa good time! ;).
