Sunday~back home

Relaxing weekend with Mike at the cabin. I did some reading and cleaning and napping, he painted. Regatta Blue for the Lake Room. Should have painted it this from the start but now it is complete. We had planned to stop at Compenero's for dinner Friday but they did not open until 5 and we were 45 minutes early. So went to West Forty instead and there on Saturday. Their final weekend for the year so good we stopped in Was so awesome whent we returned back to cabin I was out side with the pups and saw a huge glowing falling object! Too large to be a shooting star so maybe a meteor. Was so bright and had a tail. Looked like it was going to land in the lake as it went behind the tree line.
 Chaz woke us up last night barking at deer in the yard...scared us!
 Sunny but cool. Fall is here! You forget how gorgeous the colors are! We were going to make a trip to Itasca but got carried away cleaning and it was getting late so we headed for home. A new week...hoping to feel well and get a lot accomplished.

a NeW Fresh DaY~

    A new day. Morning is such a good idea. So glad God thought of a fresh start each day. Refreshed and ready to start again. Make a plan, lots of projects. Things I could not do when the kids were little or for that matter when they were older. Always running for sports etc. Loved it all. Miss it. But now I can get somethings done. Take time to be creative. Time to clean. Time to organize. Time, time, time. I pray I use it wisely. I am hoping to feel 100 percent soon so I can help neighbors and friends more. But maybe this time of healing is just that...a time to heal. I am ready. I want to make sure I have learned from it all. Help me to be compassionate, aware of others and their pain.
  Baked some cookies. Mike and I do not want to eat them so they are packaged up and ready to send to Jordan and his college friends.
Things I want to do:

•   Find all of my favorite music and get it uploaded in my ipod ( Jordan's old one) Jordan usually helps but I believe I can do it :)
• Work on my photos. Organize. Enhance. Print. Use them. Enjoy them.
• Paint rooms.
• Decorate rooms
• Read books
• Organize recipes
• Clean out the junk. DeClutter!!!

Not easy.

     Beth home for weekend, just called made it back "here" which is Moorhead, MN. Had a soccer game Friday and Saturday. Team pasta dinner here on the teams way home. Beth stayed here instead of taking team bus back. Nice treat to have her here. One little chick in my nest...even if brief, I will take it.
   Jordan has been gone since labor day weekend.Missing him and his constant influx of friends in our home. He just texted me. Wants me to let him know when I send something. Making sure his mailing address is correct...so I better send something. Maybe something edible...cookies. That would be a good thing! Text included "Love you too" (yup~tears. Just a few.)
   Found out Britta has a "secret" blog she just shared. Intrigued, I have set out to make my own. Wow, lots to learn and so many other things to be doing. So it will be a work in progress. All self contained and no added mess to my now clean house. ( Thanks to the soccer dinner, the house is pretty tidy.) Not sure I will share this with anyone. Right now it is mine to do as I please.
   Tears when Beth left. My heart feels sad. But she is so independant. So grown up. She does not need me. I guess that is what hurts...after always being needed for the past almost 27 years it is a huge adjustment. But it is the way life goes. I want to embrace the change. Look at the possiblities. Time to spend with Mike. Time to clean and decorate. Plenty to do, just need to get a plan or better yet just jump in, start somewhere. So here I go...ready to fly. Feather my nest and make it ready for when they come home to roost~
