HOT...HOT...Wednesday in Kansas...

It is another hot day in kansas...it is to reach 107 today...and for the next 10 days it really does not look much better...i think we are going into maybe week 7 with NO rain in sight...i have many trees that are dying...even though i am watering them...and the leaves are falling like crazy...i raked yesterday...that is crazy..

let us back up a bit...to last weekend...michelle re-did my walk-in closet...changes the location of two hanging rods that were in front of each other...i never really got to use one of them...all total i think the project came in at under $50...here are the pictures ...she did a wonderful job...thanks  michelle  :)


                                                                         Before;

After a nice coat of paint, new shelves, and new rods/rod placement.

With all of the clothes put neatly back into the closet!

                                                                

A Tuesday...my body is in Kansas...heart in Princess Anne

Yes... i said it...my body is in kansas today...but my heart is really back home today...first i learned yesterday morning that a friend of mine back home lost her mom...can not imagine the loss...the empty feeling that she must have...but her parents are so much like mine ...married forever...so i know that as deep as her loss is for her mom...her thoughts have to be with her dad...cause i can not think of my mom and dad...without the other...they are a team... always have been...when one is sick the other is always right there to take care of the other....one without the other... to me that will be the hardest part...betsy you are in my thoughts...

the other thing coming to an end is alan's parents are leaving west post office today...to live with alan's oldest sister...so sad to think ...they will probably only return there to be buried...sad thing to say ...but so true...i have a feeling alan's dad left his heart in pr. anne today...that  was his home...all he ever knew...he is also leaving our oldest son...who moved back there over 4 years ago ...to go back to school...and he so looked after them...i feel so sorry for both of them...the bond between them was so strong since that nov. night we walked in the door with him...he was 9 months old...the child we had always wanted...alan's dad talked us into spending the night with them...not going home to our house next door...

see we adopted our first child and he arrived by phone call...we had nothing ready...alan's dad...stayed up the whole night with him...since we had work the next day...and see alan's dad had just been forced to sell a store he had built up and babied for years...our son became the love of his life...right or wrong all the other grandchildren present and future took a back seat...so when we moved out here...they still traveled here to see his special events...and when our son was talked into moving back to live with him...alan's dad took on a new lease on life...i just hope all the decisions that were made ...were the right ones for all involved ...because there were two lives involved cause you can not mend a broken heart :(   i know alan is taking this very hard...second guessing the choice we made to move here...knowing if we still lived there his dad ...would not be moving...for sure on that one...but everything happens for a reason...we wouldn't have our wonderful granddaughter and another one on the way...i will end it on that note...cause ...yes i am crying...and it is too hard to type.......

Beautiful friday the 13th :)

I know it has been a while since i have posted on my blog...my bad...but a good thing for me...i am just feeling so good...i have not felt this jazzed up in over 2 years...6 months...3 days....and being this last year was a scene of a horror story...replayed over and over again...somehow when the one year hit of the death of my neighbor terry and knowing bill passed away in may...that day brought me peace...i carried two white roses over to their grandson with a note ...i know i will never forget that day...but for now i am putting it in my past...and someday...i will figure it out...everything happens for a reason...we shall see...I've started writing a fiction book about the event...it helps me...i hope someday to finish it.... Was It Murder,  in a small kansas town...

i have been so busy...last weekend i had a clothes line put up...and i love it...clothes do not stink ...like i remember them smelling...no bird shit on them...yet...find it very soothing...

this weekend michelle is customizing my walk in closet and re-organizing it...it is a wonderful sized closet...but the lay out was very poor...pictures on this for sure...just a wonderful friday here...you all have a wonderful day as well  :)
