Summer Solstice Sneaking In....

A friend of mine who lives in Florida wrote to me today to remind me that we are officially into the summer season!  It's funny, even though the calendar tells us when summer begins, to me, it does sort of "sneak in".  And it doesn't stick around quite long enough anymore.  Not like it did when we were 12 years old.  Up at dawn, outside all day and into the evening.

Speaking of evening....tonight I will be joining some of my friends to take a peek into the night sky and see what's going on out in space.  The super moon is upon us and I'm sure the telescope will be viewing that great orb.   But, it's the other things that the eye cannot see without the aid of a telescope that interests me much more than the moon.  Oh don't get me wrong, I love the moon!  But, what you can't see beyond it is quite intriguing.

Until next post.....

Mom.....

It's been a little while since I've blogged.  My mother passed away in May, so you can understand my online absence.  She was a wonderful mother to me and my siblings.  She cared deeply for everyone in her life and always placed herself second.  She suffered with Alzheimer's disease.  Her last month on this earth was so very hard to witness.  I applaud all those in the medical field who deal with this disease day in and day out.  With their help, she died with as much dignity as possible and for that I am grateful.  She is no longer suffering, and I am sure she is in a better place now.  I miss her dearly, but I am at peace knowing the love we shared was unconditional and will stay forever in my heart.                      

 I love you mom ♥
