Mom's Memorial

Mom died Tuesday morning, November 15, 2011.

I am so glad that at last she will be at peace and whole again. I thought I would be ready...but I guess you are never really ready.

We will have her Celebration of Life Memorial Service on Saturday, November 26, 2pm at the Tonasket Senior Center

I hope Mom is having a good visit with Susan and Grandma!

HaPpy BirThDaY JimmY!

I can hardly believe you are 25!!

You were the best present for your Grandma and Grandpa being born on their 18th wedding anniversary.

Emma's Nursery

I love that they chose the name Emma...it was Becky's Great Grandma's name and Jessie's Great Grandma's middle name as well as his Great Great Grandma's name....how cool is that!!

The nursery is coming along great!! It is so sweet in purples and pinks and butterflies. The mobile that Kelly and I made goes perfectly with their decor. I love the crib they chose, and the bedding will be here soon. We brought down Emma's car seat and baby swing that Sophia was using while she was visiting us.

Just look at that closet full of clothes...this little girl will be one well dressed baby!! I can hardly wait!

Sale Booty!!

Wow!! 90% off sale at Craft Warehouse.....You can't get any better than that!!

Pumpkin Update

These are the pumpkins that are left by the road this morning. I sold alot then I put up a 'free' sign. If nobody picks them up they will go into the compost pile soon.

Rita and Dixie this morning waiting for a little breakfast.

Pumpkins..

This morning I hauled all of my extra pumpkins out to the road to try and sell. It is all on the honor system...I left a container for the pumpkin money to go in. It will be fun to see how this goes! I checked the container tonight and I had $9.00!!

Just trying to Remember

Sometimes I can't even remember how mom used to be...the sound of her voice and her laughter.

Today when I went to see her I don't even think she knew who I was, I am not seeing that spark of recognition anymore. She can't feed herself and can barely hold a glass when it is given to her, her foods are pureed so she can swallow them. She is eating and drinking less. The sores on her feet are not healing...the infection is gone..but in her condition they will probably never heal. She can't walk, nor sit in a regular wheelchair. Her body is shutting down, little by little. She is off all medications...just tylenol occasionally for discomfort, which is a hard call too since you just have to read the look on her face. For the most part she is comfortable and being well taken care of. It is getting harder and harder for me to see her in this state but I feel like I need to be there for her, to make sure she is 'okay'. Sometimes she is awake when I go see her, so I sit with her and visit, other times she is sleeping so I just tell her I love her and leave.
