my dear old friend

i lost my dear old friend yesterday, one that has always been there in the last 17 years, to listen to the problems and the joys of our family. always the king of the house, he demanded respect from everyone even the dog. you have left a hole in my heart little one.

hope

my hope bracelet i just added to my etsy site for sale it is so nice, i really want to keep it, oh well let someone enjoy it who will wear it more than me. i hope someone buys it that has been having a hard time and needs to remember to never give up hope , things always get better.

sept 11th

this is such a sad day, as much as we try not to watch it on tv or the news it still comes the anniversary of this horrible day. it brings back memories of my brother, he was the first call i made that day. and we didn't know it then but less than a year later he would no longer be here with us. i know he watches over us, but i miss him so deeply...

i love this picture of an old farm house. we stumbled upon this house one afternoon just sitting there in the middle of a mega developement.

i thought how sad, the house does not not have much longer. the very next time we went out that way it was gone. at least i had my camera and snapped some photos.

i still can't help but wonder who had lived there, and the animals they had, the hard work that was done, big family dinners and the couple that grew old together sitting on the porch. the memories the old farm must have, it was a grand house once.
