sunday

Oldest son, daughter, and I went out for lunch today. We had burgers. It was OK.
The best part was just spending time with the two of them.

Mom frequently wore scarves.......they were very pretty. When we packed up her personal belongings after she passed away I made sure to keep a scarf for me, each of my sisters, and each of moms grand daughters.
Today I packed one of moms scarves and one of her pretty Christmas angels to give to her best friend of 65 years.
I put them in a pretty gift bag...............on the drive to moms best friends house I kind of prayed that she wouldn't be home. I haven't seen her since before mom died. Her and her husband were out of town when mom passed away. I knew seeing her would be an emotional meeting..... While I know it's OK to cry, I have this fear of crying in front of  most people............I knew I'd cry if I saw her. ........so I prayed.
 Luckily she was not home.
  I tucked the gift bag and note between her front doors.
 It felt good to give her something. Mom would have wanted me to.....
and one day when I am stronger, I will visit with her.

i started my barn painting today. It looks pretty good so far and has been fun to paint!
