Love This Home...

Blue Eyes and I have had talks about where and how we will live when it is just the two of us...


We've talked about just a small apartment with minimal "stuff"...


But Katie keeps reminding me that we have four children which means plenty of grandchildren...


She seems to think I'll want to have them over all the time. :)

I think she knows me well.

This type of house (above), is one I think would suit us. Less stuff, more room.

After all, I want all of those grandsweeties to be able to run about, and ride their bikes around inside, make train tracks all over the floor with permanent markers, like their parents did when they were little. (Our house was VERY kid friendly, and winters in Maine can be VERY long).

I'm sure they'll have us wrapped right around their little fingers. :)

Can you tell I'm starting to look forward too it.

~This song that your listening too on my blog right now, one of my very favorites... it reminds me so much of my mum. I think she liked Connie Francis if I remember. I miss her muchly. She would so have LOVED Katie... my sweet babygirl.~

Shoe Love...

I never really understood the why of women loving shoes so much...

I'm not quite sure why I didn't get it.

Why I missed it all this time...

Maybe I'm more of a practical dresser...

But boy, I think I've been missing out... don't you?

I Still Love The Sound Of Her Footsteps...

She, is home from a week at  "Jesus Camp"

When she was two, and just newly in her "big girl bed", each morning in the quietness of our house, as her brothers slept, she would climb the stairs to our room, one careful step at a time.

My mothers heart would leap for joy because she was up, and I couldn't wait to hug on her and kiss her sweet little neck.


This morning, I waited, in the quietness of our house, for the sounds of her footsteps coming down the stairs.

Fourteen years have passed since she started to climb the stairs, free from her crib,  and in her "big girl bed"...

But my mothers heart still leaps when I hear her footsteps.

Knowing she is home, if only for a few more years or so...

And I can still hug on her, and sometimes just sometimes,  kiss her sweet little neck.

Times, they are a changing.


My love for that precious girl, never will.
