Sun?

Today is Sunday. The beginning of another week. It is the last day of the weekend. It has been warm. The leaves are out on even the bigger trees now. We have a tree that is just in front of our patio. It is so lonely when it has no leaves. It is beautiful with new leaves coming and shades the patio just perfectly in the late Spring, Summer and Fall. I love our apartment. I miss home sometimes...however, I keep remembering all the memories. They have come with us. I miss the people tho. I lived around some of the neighbors for all but about 11 years of my life. It is sad. There isn't even time in the day to visit anymore.
I have been doing geneology. I have found alot of information. It is exciting to me. There have been many notes and comments about the visiting and singing. I miss that with my dad, mom and sisters. I miss the times we had with my grandpa and grandma Frey. We always had somewhere to go on holidays and felt needed. It was great. I love my family.
Mom comes home today. We went to Kirtland for 2 and half days for Jeff's job so mom stayed with Denise. Kirtland was very nice. We saw the sights and enjoyed the evenings together. He learned things and I felt at peace in the hotel and around Mentor and Kirtland Ohio. It was a nice couple of days. I don't have a camera. I didn't get any pictures. If you want to see how it looked...it was amazing...it looked just like it looked in all of the pictures I had always seen. The temple, however, looked a bit bigger than I was expecting. It really was a pretty good size for their first endeavor. So if you can't go then look online for the information on Kirtland...it is the next best thing to being there...:)
Anyway, Mom is coming home. She has been a stinker at Denise's. I am so sad. Jeff had a dream that she went kicking and screaming, swearing and saying all kinds of hateful things, when being put into a nursing home. It is getting time. Isn't it odd how someone can be quite wonderful physically and their mind just leaves them? Alzheimer's has left my mom a completely different person. There is no understanding this disease...just patience and acceptance. I am still working on both of those!
Well, all is well. The kitties made it through the little vacation from us with flying colors. We were all so excited to be back together.
Hallelujah to ya!!!!! Cindy used to say that all the time when she was happy or excited about something.
I saw some sandels on sale in the advertisements this weekend. They were quite a good price. I wanted to call all of my nieces and nephews and get sizes and buy them some! I wish we could do more. We sure love them.
