Any cake BUT chocolate.

My Grandmother's birthday has got to be one of the hardest days to get through since I lost her in 2001. I wrote this awhile back but with September 11th being tomorrow, I thought this might be the right time to share it. I had planned on taking Shurree' out to see Skye today. She has been asking me for a long time, to get pictures of her three kids together. I try so hard to avoid it. Nothing to do with the child. Just not something I am able to handle. Still. It was Mom's day though so I thought I would brave it out. At least attempt too. I wanted to go by my old residence as well. Bike Capital of The Northwest. Wendy's. My first job. The Redmond House. The one I will always call home. Drive up the Old Windy past Adrian's. Maybe stop by my schools? The High School. Home of The Mustangs. My lip had already started to quiver as I knew the memories would overtake me. I was sure I was going to lose it the second I came past Moen's on 171st but ... it didn't ...

I can answer that in two letters too. No. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that all the seasons seem off this year? Can I blame it on that? Seriously, here it is June and the sky is looking like a dream today. The air is chilly, it is gloomy out. Trees are bending much like a lazy weekend would have them doing. A faint smell of burning ...

Sleigh Bells Ring ... Are You Listening?

- December 21, 2022

So this is Christmas & what have we done? Another year over & new ones just begun. It is quite unbelievable to me that in just 4 more days the Jolly Man will be making his rounds, stopping by after the kids are sleeping - which is only for about 20 minutes on Christmas eve, you know - there being excitement in the air and all. Then it will be hours upon hours of opening gift after gift. Each child squealing as they get "what they want" but at the same time complaining because the other one received something far better. When I speak of this - it is my grown children I am talking about. Belly aching all the way through the day. As I woke up this morning, I guess my body thought it needed to...
