I Know..... I Know!

Yes... I KNOW that it's been a while since my last post! (head hanging down in shame). Really, it's been a complete whirlwind since returning from my trip to Cali. The pull of life from work and home intensified this week and I just haven't thought of anything compelling to write about.

Here's a small recap of my trip - there are so many details that I'm going to just highlight a few things. Ready?! Flew in..hug, hug...get some sleep. Wake up (good morning)..what? no coffee maker? That just won't do  - I bought a coffee maker before the sun went down! Took son, B-20 shopping for clothes & shoes, bought son, N-26 clothes, too.

Good night - good morning (Thursday)...ahhhh - coffee!! My Grandson's 2nd Birthday!! Here he is Skyping with his Papa for his birthday....
rush...rush..visit my cousin, Aunt & Uncle (about 35 minutes away)..hug, cry, chat, eat. My little cousin, Hannah made the most wonderful cake for me.


She wasn't there (sad face, here) to see me enjoy her creation - at 6..she did an outstanding job). Then..goodbye, hug, kis, tears...back up the "hill" to grab a Birthday cake for my grandson's 2nd birthday. Cold Stone! Small family gathering..cake....good night.
Friday - wake up..good morning...coffee (ahhhh)..shopping for my grandson's BIG birthday party on Sat.  Made my son, N-26 a cake for his Birthday...Here's the cake I made for him! Small family gathering to celebrate...good night!

Saturday - Good morning ...coffee (yes, please)...rush..rush..get ready for my Grandson's BIG Birthday bash - Hispanic style! I even made a cake!
The activities and time change conflicted A LOT with my Skype-times with Rich. It was so frusrating but couldn't be helped. It was a great trip and I got to spend so much time getting to know our grandson! He's still not all warm and fuzzy with me (we only see him 1-2 times a year), but he wasn't all-out scared of me. It was nice to spend time with my sons and my daughter-in-law. Mel's a lot of fun to be around and I miss her very much!

We were rushed to the airport to drop me off..no time for tears..a quick hug, kiss and goodbye! kind of like ripping the band-aid off. So much better than the long drawn-out goodbye!

That's my vacation re-cap!

Love, Peace & TGIF!

The Dark Days

I still have them...just without drinking through them. Sometime I wish I could, but it's not an option if I want to live. Peace
