March 2019

 Mama and PJ came to see us last weekend :)

I stopped asking for a "nice" picture because the the laughter from clowning around was so sweet <3 p="">

Love these pictures of mama from their sedum sphere class at Mrs. Grae's.  And she gave me the one she made!  I hope I can keep it going, keeping my fingers crossed.

Isaac and Jennifer still in Costa Rica on their adventure.

It was good to meet one of Judson's co-workers last week. She shared this photo taken of Judson in early October, a couple of weeks before he left.  I so appreciate her kindness and support and the chance to hear her memories.

 I've been reading quite a bit about grief and life after life and that's been helpful.

The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting a little longer, 

and the daffodils are up in the back yard. 

I seem to have found a few more wrinkles, but life is still good and I am thankful for so much.

Birthday Card

Our Betsy's hand-made drawing of me, Mark and Skye on my birthday card.  I love their cards! You can see she got my hair color just right :)

Another Birthday

We went to Sgt Pepper's for a late lunch on my birthday.   We all miss Judson terribly, but it was good to be together.   I had a call from Isaac who is on his annual Costa Rica adventure, also phone calls and messages and lots of facebook birthday wishes.

 Mother Nature sent snow. 

Mark gave me Ninna Ricci perfume.  I haven't had any in years and I never see it in the stores anymore.  It was Nan's favorite and it makes me think of her.

I can't resist picking up another pot of bulbs every time we go to the grocery!

Keto birthday desserts-cheesecake and chocolate peanut butter pie.  Next time the pie is just going to be peanut butter cups.  Why bother with pie when you can have peanut butter cups?
