My Spot



Home at last, sitting in my spot on the couch
listening to Yo Gabba Gabba


This episode is called " dance " 
and 
Khloe loves to dance.
So anything to get her out of the
 cow chair.....
That said,
I've seen this episode approximately twelve times 
averaging four times a day.
I won't miss anything if I take a moment
to blog.

I've been home now for a week .....
Lots of unpacking, laundry and mail to sort.
Khloe ....she is on the move to say the least
so I've been busy!

She's hearing " no " a lot!!
 I am not a believer in moving things
off tables, so it's the task at hand to teach her.
Below is her reaction one day filled with no's....she just couldn't
take another no!!  :-)

Prior to leaving on our trip we received
word that my Uncle Ray had passed away. 
He was husband to my Aunt Wilma who just
a month prior was out here in California for the service
for my Mom, her youngest sister.
Her and my Uncle were married almost 66 years... their love
was strong and you knew if after just minutes in their presence.

How difficult to lose your baby sister and then your life partner
so close together..
She has been heavy on my mind.  It is her and my Uncle who we go to see every year
in Montana, I love her to bits.
Please say a little prayer for her if you would :-)

I
think of my Mom always,
 missing her is so heavy at times.
So,  the get away was good for us for many, many reasons.

Glad to be around our family and friends again.
We will now talk of plans for next years vacation!

In the mean time.....

Watching Grampa water..



Resting up for tomorrow....
enjoying
 being back in my spot...is what echos from my heart today...

  4. Khloe is such a doll!!

    I'm sorry about your uncle, and will send prayers for your aunt. That's a long time to be married; it's really gonna be difficult, and as your say losing her sister (your sweet mom) so close together. :(

    Rylan is trying so hard to walk, and boy she is busy also!!

    xoxo

  5. I could relate to your thoughts on coming home. You have a special way of sharing your thoughts and what is on your heart.

    Little Khloe's pictures are so cute! It is a busy time in their little lives.

    Happy Monday!

  6. Oh, and I wanted to tell you that I am so sorry for your losses of people you love so much! I know firsthand that there are times when the losses are so heavy on the heart.
