A time for growth

October 13 made a big change in my families lives, Bob the father of my children died while he was out walking on the canal bank with his dogs, doing what he loved. What a shock, he was only 55 and seamed to be in good health. The kids and I drove all night to get to Twin Falls where the healing began. What a week it was as the kids planned Bob's funeral and looked through his business and notes. How nice it was to be in our home and feel Bob's present. We cried, laughed, shared memories, hugged and loved being together. Life is short and we can't take things with us but memories are wonderful and can be held onto forever. The grandkids (all 9) had a great time playing outside especially in the BIG TREE HOUSE, Bob was making for them. Bob we have many wonderful memories of being together as a family and we will all miss you very much. But we know you are busy helping others and working very hard now. You also have the knowlege of life and understanding of things that one day we will all have. We all love you and someday we will all be together again..........

New Home

I have lived here in Flagstaff a little over 2 months. The weather is very nice. I love having the fresh air and sun light come in my windows. I hear the train whistle blow all times of the day and night. The train goes from here to Albuquerque each day so I think we should all go on a train ride. The other evening a black cat came meowing at my door. He wanted to come in and I had to tell him this was not his home but he could visit if he would like. So some evenings he is at the door maybe I should give him some Tuna Fish or MAYBE NOT......He made me think that Halloween is close. I planted some black-eyed susans under my front window and they look so cheerful. I also planted comfrey so I could have some green drinks. Yummy Yummy. I can't wait for the leaves to start turning colors as Fall comes. I have missed watching the leaves change. This is going to be a great fall.
