Saturday~

Spent the day going through photos in preparation for the memorial~  the kids helped me go through hundreds of photos...it was a long process but so healing for all of us to see all the special times we had...all the travels that we took with grandma...all the stories each of my children had about grandma..We were all so very blessed to have her~  Amanda had to babysit my niece Summer this evening so I dropped her off along with Gabby and got to spend some time with her...she is so precious!  Can't believe that she is eight months old already...time just flies.  Here we are into September with Fall just around the corner...my favorite time of year~  We are packing getting ready to move in the next couple of weeks....how do you pack a house that you've been in for ten years?!  My goodness all the things we have collected....the garage is full.  Time to bless some others with the many extra's that we have~  The girls are getting ready to share a room again...I know that there have been so...many changes these past couple of years and my Gabby is having a hard time thinking about sharing with Amanda..they are polar opposites!  Amanda is sloppy and Gabby is so neat..she is beyond herself.....but they will work it out somehow~  I will just need to put plenty of shelving in for all of Gabby's knick-knacks.....It will be nice to be in another environment with some outside space...I may even be able to have some flowers again!  God is good...always providing for  our needs and even some of our wants~

Hi! Vikki, Hope this finds you doing good! I am sorry to hear of your loss about your grandmother. And yes the sweet memories will be a part of you forever. Cherish those because unforuately I never had the expierence of knowing my grandmothers. When I hear talk about someone's grandmother my heart aches, because I never knew mine. It is so strange to me! But that makes me want to be the best Grandmother that I can be to my grands! I hope to leave something that is memorable to them. Hope you have a wonderful day and make it fun! Love ya! Girl:)

I am so sorry to read of your loss Vikki. I am also touched by your love for your Grandmother.

You seem always to have so much on your plate, that I hope you are encouraged by God's promise to never give you more than you are able to handle.

I think I would very much like to know you in person and share a cup of tea, some laughter, and a lot of prayer with you.Good thing we can be blogging friends, and pray for one another, praise Him!
