  • “I Am There Inside Your Heart”

    I Am There Inside Your Heart

    Right now I’m in a different place,
    And though we seem apart,
    I’m closer than I ever was…
    I’m there inside your heart.

    I’m with you when you greet each day
    And while the sun shines bright
    I’m there to share the sunsets, too…
    I’m with you every night.

    I’m with you when the times are good,
    To share a laugh or two,
    And if a tear should start to fall…
    I’ll still be there for you.

    And when that day arrives
    That we no longer are apart
    I’ll smile and hold you close to me…
    Forever in my heart.

    In loving memory of this woman’s son, Bob.

  • It’s Raining, It’s Pouring……..

    Howdy Ho Folks – Well, fall has arrived.  It showed up at the end of last week.  Thankfully trick or treating evening was rain-free.  But when I left for work on Friday morning it was raining and do you think I could find an umbrella ANYWHERE?  Nope and I am the queen of umbrellas.  I bought some beautiful umbrellas (from www.signals.com) for Christopher’s memorial because it is so scorching hot at the end of August.  I also have other umbrellas that I brought to the memorial:


    Denise Ashley umbrellas


    Ashley Leslie umbrella


    Chris Jessica umbrella


    Jessica umbrella


    Leslie umbrella


    Matthew umbrella


    Of course all I had to do was search in the back of my car and I found an umbrella!  I LOVE the black/rose umbrellas that I bought for the memorial.  I bought an umbrella stand to put them in (I will only use them for the memorial):

    I took care of Abbie and Emily all weekend so their parents could go to the Army Ball.  Since it was raining yesterday we just stayed home.  I actually made beef stroganoff on Friday night and spaghetti on Saturday night.  The girls loved the spaghetti!  They had no idea that I snuck some zucchini in it!


    Last weekend I visited with my Goddaughter Taylor and her parents.  Taylor’s mommy Kathryn and I took photos of Taylor for this year’s Christmas card.  Here are some photos from the “shoot”:

    There is a water fountain in the neighborhood that Taylor loves to play in.  I loved how she picked up her dress so she could play in the water:

    We went to a Halloween carnival at Taylor’s school.  Taylor decided to wear her witch hat to the event.  Hey, if the hat fits……

    Last, but not least . . . . . . . I thought this picture was cute of Taylor and Kathryn’s crocs:

    That would be it for me.  It’s time to hit the sack and hope that Charlie and Chili let me sleep one hour later and not wake me up at 4:00 a.m. to go take care of business.


    Have a GREAT Monday everyone and be sure to hug your families!!
