Today would have been my mom’s 72nd birthday. It’s been a hard day with feeling blue. I’ve thought of my family and how hard it is to go through your first holiday without those you love. This is our family first year to spend the holidays without either of our parents. I think it’s easier when you have one parent living as you tend to be stronger for them. Here is a little something special for my mom on her birthday. Happy Birthday mom, we love and miss you.
Dear Mother, you are not forgotten
Though on earth you are no more
Still in memory you are with us
As you always were before
A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out 2 take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother's name.
Left behind, the children's tears
In our hearts your memory lingers
Sweetly tender, fond and true
There is not a day dear Mother
That we do think of you and now 2 God a mother’s sent
It’s been a beautiful day with lots of sunshine and warm temps. I took the dogs for a run and to the Lake to spend some time and shockingly Lexi got in the water! She was trying to get the stick I threw for Roo
There is a sand pile by the lake and the dogs had fun chasing each other around it. It was hard to get a picture as they run so fast but I did manage to get a glimpse of Roo chasing Lexi
they had a great time and I believe the dogs have really enjoyed being here where they can get off their leash to run and swim
We really haven’t done much today, just spent it relaxing and chilling out. The place we were suppose to take our truck to wasn’t open, guess they forgot Monday was Christmas Eve. So our plans are to take our truck in first thing Wednesday morning to see if we can get it fixed and be on the road soon.
Dolly spent her Christmas Eve doing what she loves, snuggled up in her blanket
Roo loves laying in my chair when I get up
here is what Roo and Lexi spent their evening doing .. resting up .. Lexi loves laying on her sister and I think her sister Roo enjoys her snuggling with her as well
We spent our evening with our friend Don who came over and we watched the National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation movie together. It was a great way to spend our evening since we are not with family. It used to be a Christmas tradition with our kids that we watched this movie on Christmas Eve.
