Hi guys! Just wanted to touch base with everyone. I have been so busy lately, I haven't had time to keep up my blog and it's something that IS important to me.
This past weekend was a bittersweet weekend for me. Heather and Allen came in Friday night to spend the weekend. Of course, I was very glad they were here. However, my brother came over Saturday to move my Mom's bedroom furniture that she left to him in her will out of my house and to his house. I hated to see her things leave here, which was the bitter part of bittersweet. It was a sad thing for me, because it was part of her and I didn't want to loose that last part of her that was still here.
The sweet part was that my grandmother had left me HER bedroom suit, which is antique, in her will. We had put it in storage and after my brother moved my Mom's furniture, we moved my grandmother's furniture in the room. It is so homey looking and very pretty and it made such a difference in the room. I am very happy with the way it looks. I want to get some sort of arrangement to put on the little table next to the bed, and I need to get curtains for the window and it will be a very nice quiet room. I love it.
So even though that part of my Mom is no longer here, I do have a part of my Grandmother here with me. And I still have my Mom's recliner too. This all may seem silly to some, but I know most of you will understand how I feel about all of this and the sentimentallity of it all. But then, I am a sentimental person, so that's just they way it is.
Allen, and Tom and I went to Wanetiri Lakes on Greenwell Springs Road yesterday and rented a small boat with a trolling motor and went all over the lake trying to catch fish. We caught 4. Four itty bitty tiny little fish. We threw them back in to grow some more. But we did enjoy it.
Here are a few pictures I took while there.
