100 Posts.† I started this blog when my Mother died.† It helped me so much in the first few days/weeks/months.† I don’t keep† it like I should.† I write sporadically at best.† This is my 100th post and I wish I had something earth shattering to share, some wisdom to impart to the 2 people who read this.
But I don’t.
Life goes on, soon it will be 2 years that my sweet Mamma died.† 2 years, it seems impossible that it has been that long.† Things change, my Daddy has remarried to a wonderful woman who I love.† I still miss my Mother every day of my life.† Kei still tells me at times I call for her when I am falling asleep.† We are living in her house.† She would be tickled pink that we are here.† I wish she lived here with us, but that wasn’t God’s plan.
Kei bought a candy making kit on clearance after Easter.† It looked like something that would be a huge mess to me.† She was outside playing and decided she had to make candy NOW.†† I warned her that it probably wouldn’t look like the candy on the box.
She did it all by herself and I was amazed how it turned out!† It was beautiful!
The roses are blooming here.† It is so strange how I lived here when I was younger and visited here every day of my life almost, but I have never really noticed how beautiful the roses and flowers are.† I guess ownership <however loosely> makes you more aware.
There are about 15 rose bushes scattered everywhere.† Mother always loved roses.† They are amazing.
We celebrated Earth Day by going on a Wildflower walk.† I love this place but this year there wasn’t much water and the kids didn’t get to splash around much.† We then went to a nearby park and ate lunch at Taziki’s Greek Restaurant.† It was YUMMY!
There is the coolest house made of twigs and limbs.† We wondered who built it?
All in all a good week.† We were invited to go camping next week and are so hoping we will be able to go!
Happy week all,
I use an oldfashionededucation.com and it’s wkrniog really great for us. My daughter loves the stories and talking about it leads from one thing to another. I’m a great fan of literature-based education because you can go pretty much anywhere with it.. art, little plays, writing, crafts, and the list goes on. Sometimes I do wonder if I’m doing enough. But I think all of us think that. Even the ones who aren’t homeschooling.
It is a most difficult thing to lose a parent. I still have my mom and I cherish the blessing. My dad, however, passed away in 1998; and there are times when the pain is as fresh as if he just left. It is wonderful you have your mom’s roses to cherish and enjoy. I am sure she would be happy to know they are such a blessing to you. You now have three readers!
