And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.

     Autumn seems to be knocking on the door today.
Much harder then yesterday when Summer stood in front of her laughing & teasing us.

This is one of those days that really remind me how much I miss home: Redmond House.

     The huge maple 🍁 in the backyard releasing its young ones, encouraging them to dance, twirling around before resting on the seasons last of green below our footprints.

The smell of fresh baked Parkerhouse Rolls wafting from front to back door, every spot in between.

Wood crackling in the fireplace, spending the months leading up to this moment, chopping & stacking, worn hands rest.

Midnight sprawled across the orange colored carpet accentuating his jet black fur. Soft purrs of happiness.

     I am a day older now. I am a day wiser.

I give you this: You really never do know how much you love someone, how truly and deeply you are connected to them until they become nothing but a memory.

Count your Blessings. Always be Thankful because really, that is what matters in the end.

Didn't See that Coming ... Keep Reading!

                                              I hope that someday when I am gone that someone, somewhere                    picks my soul up, reads these pages and thinks "I wood have loved her."       It seems kind of crazy to, in times like these "love" something but today, I find that I do. It is my day off. My mind races to Starbucks with their Salted Caramel Cold foam a top - Chai Tea. I have become addicted. Lately. It seems that I can taste the ice cold creamy-ness in most of my dreams.       Do I want to venture out to get one. I weigh the pros and the cons of the trip.      Pros: The building is within walking distance.             The taste of the tea.             It is 1/2 price drinks until 6pm tonight.  ...

Sending a Letter to Heaven

                                          Hello Grandma, are you there?      Not to long ago, I came across an article that convinced me to "write a letter" to the person who "took my heart away" when they gained their wings.      As I read it - it told me that the grieving process is much harder for some then it is for others. I believe my "story" goes into the column of (the MOST hard) as it has been. Over twenty years have escaped now since you have left me. My life never being the same from that day on.       I have so many things to ask you and so much to tell you. I truly believe in Angels though and that makes me believe that you know what has been happening in my life.      It is a Saturday afternoon. The rain is gently falling outside. Another beautiful Spring day here in Washington. I have been spending a lot ...

That seems to be how it always is for me though.      Things that should have been said, things that should have been done. In essence, goals that were never reached - in hind sight, there is always tomorrow.      My fingers type this out as I reflect how this past (season) has more then drained me.       I found  myself working two jobs, endlessly. Hour after hour. Even though I...
