sister

Yesterday my sister left, she moved away. 

 She moved across country. 

Her son, daughter in law and only grandchild live there. 

I don't blame her a bit for moving after all she's been through. 

 I am happy for her and this new season, a fresh start, putting down new roots. 

But we will all miss her and it will be so strange not to see her, not to have her close by.  I actually had to say my goodbyes to her a week ago,  because we were away the last few days

 leading up to and the day she left. 

It was weird saying goodbye and didn't seem like reality.

 I am confident when I am get home and things settle down it will sink in that she has moved

 and she is just not away on vacation. 

be blessed sister

be happy

love, 

your big sister

a rainy day with beauty all around

On this cool, rainy day thought I would share a few treasures from the kitchen.

Monica Potter Home Lavender candle is burning, so lovely.

A vase full of lilacs from our yard, they also smell heavenly!

My son Chris sent me this pitcher vase filled with flowers several years ago.   I use it all the time!

The Monica Potter Home rustic barn box is holding little milk bottles filled with delicate wild violets.  The cute bird holding string came from the Monica Potter Home store in Garrettsville, Ohio.

Sitting on top of the box is my Dad's "work" bible, he carried with him everyday day at work.

I have my Grandma's diary from the 1950's displayed here as well.

Sharing the inside cover and first page of her diary.

So sweet.

Easter weekend

We had a wonderful time in Indiana with Kelly, Josh and Everett over Easter weekend!

 We ...

shopped, ate out, went to an antique mall, went to church, cooked and ate Easter dinner together, watched movies,  played with Everett,  walked the dogs, talked.

We...

made lots of new memories!

 It was a lovely time seeing the kids and celebrating Easter!

It was Everett's first Easter and also our youngest grandson, Finn's first Easter!

 Here is Finn!
