Winter Beauty

A winter wonderland.

The last 2 days have been so beautiful.  Highs around 34 but the sun has shown off the snow making it look like millions of diamonds cover the valley.  I still won't say that I like Montana in the winter.....that might take a while....like years.  But it is beautiful and serene.

In Memory Of Aaron

A child who's eyes showed that he had the spirit of the angels with him.

A teenager that still held the angels within.

A young man trying to find his place in the world.

A man that lived by his own code of life.

This is my son Aaron.  He was and is such a joy to have shared even a moment in time with.  You could feel the heavenly spirit that was always with him.  He never seen the bad in life but rather what he could do to make life better for someone else.  He touched more lives that we will probably ever know.  He gave all that he had to ease the suffering of another even though he suffered untold inhumanity himself.  He loved life and he loved his family.  This Christmas marks the 2nd year anniversary of his death.  I know that God had a greater plan for him and for his sister Sara, that meant they were needed in heaven more than here on earth.  It still feels like yesterday and I miss him and Sara so much.  I have been told that perhaps I have no right to call him my son or to feel the way that I do.  To that I can only say that I love all of my children more than life itself and would have traded places if it were in my power.  Aaron blessed my life in so many ways as have all my children...there are just not enough words to say how much.  I carried each of you under my heart and had the privilege to give you life.  I will carry each of you every minute of every day in my heart and love you forever.

Aaron, my first born son, I miss you and love you always.  Take care of your sister Sara in heaven and be with those who love you here on earth in spirit.

Friends of a Different Feather

It wouldn't be Christmas without dressing up the cat in a Santa suit.

And of course his favorite pal Chico had to get in on the action as well.  Who would have ever guessed that these 2 would become the best friends in the world.  They spend their days chasing each other all over the house, sharing food and water, and sulk when the other is on days off.  I guess we all need a friend no matter what color or species they come in....LOL

Happy Birthday Jason!!!!

Happy Birthday Sonshine!!

I love these blue eyes!

Let Jason know that it is his special day.

Some of our kids and grandkids are alone for special occasions and holidays and they need to know they are thought about and loved.

Remembering Pearl Harbor

Today is when Pearl Harbor was attacked and the US entered World War 2.  Take a minute and remember all those who gave their lives for our freedom.

Happy Birthday Nikki

Hope your day is filled with joy and that all your wishes come true.

I love you!!!

Will There Ever Be Enough....

Snow to make enough snowmen???  I wish I knew why I love them so much.

Weather update:  high of 9 today and low of -10 not counting the wind chill.  Its trying to snow but it is probably to cold.  It is beautiful out tonight though...a light fog is covering the valley putting rings around all the lights....you can smell the wood fires and it smells like Christmas.  Miss you all so much already.  Post more so I feel like you are close!!!!

Sadness

Today I am so sad.  First Kevin had to go to the funeral of his mother and that is so sad to lose someone so important to you.  I miss him and being able to just toss thoughts against each other because when you say them out loud sometimes it helps.

Second....I just found out that I may have to look for another job due to the economy and the  lack of guests staying with us.  We have already had to let Kelly go, Kevin is next and then me.  I really hate having to look for another job and especially this time of year.  For me it will probably be after the first of the year if we can't work out a compromise but never the less it still weighs heavily on my mind.  Seems like every time I find a good job, something happens somewhere between 6 and 9 months no matter how good a job I am doing and it is getting really old.  Welcome home I guess.

So yes this is a bitch session but have to get it out somehow.

And for those who may ask.....no it didn't have anything to do with me coming down for a week!

It all has to do with the almighty dollar and how  people are spending it right now and they are just not spending it on vacations in the winter.

Whew....maybe I feel better....will let you know!
