Home Again, Home Again

Vacation is over. What do I have to say about that? I say "DANG". It went much too fast and the only thing I have to show for it is many memories and very sore arms and shoulders.

I enjoyed the time I spent with my dad. My heart hurt during the times he had such a hard time breathing. My heart hurt when he talked badly about the church. But I look at him with so much love and admiration. We had some heart to heart that didn't involve the church which was nice. I wish I lived nearer so I could visit him everyday.

I enjoyed the time I spent with my sister, Heather and her family. She is such a hard worker that she puts me to shame. She does so much for so many with not a thought for herself. I thank her for getting me into shorter pants. I thank her for the many meals she cooked. I hope she has a great vacation this week and I hope you have lots of cuddle time with Riley when you get back. Good luck with teens with attitudes.

I enjoyed the time with Jenn & my sweetest Dustin. They were able to come up and visit for a couple of days. The days were hot pool days and Dustin made the BEST of them. He is swimming like a fish. Jenn really enjoyed it as well. I loved playing with Dustin in the pool. Yes, you read me right. I went into the pool to swim. We had a great time. I love you Jenn & Dustin. Thanks for spending the time with me.

I enjoyed the time with Robb, Aliss and dearest Sariah. Robb worked most of the time. Doesn't feel like I was able to spend very much time with him. I did spend time with Aliss. I love her and she is such a gentle sweetheart. She so silently has become a very large part of our family. I love the way she takes care of Robb and Sariah. I am grateful for the constant studying she does in order to do the best for her family. My little Sariah and I spent some time in the pool together. She loves Dustin and loved him playing with her. She looked sooooo sweet in her little bathing suit that Aunt Jackie gave her. (got pictures, will post). I was able to keep her a couple of times and sing her to sleep. My children are such a great joy and my grandchildren are such an addition to that.

Although I made all of those memories, the one I missed most is having my sweetheart spending it with me. I missed him so much, especially on Wednesday night when I couldn't reach him. My heart was terrified something happened when I couldn't get in touch with him but he was nicely asleep in dreamland. Mike, I hope you enjoyed it. I love him and am grateful for him.

Well, I am sitting her sweating. It is so hot in this room so I think I will go and get Dad to take me for a drive (air conditioning). Love to all of you.
