The new baby – in all fairness we got him from a breeder in the mid-west. Notice how short his nose whiskers are.. his little mates and he decided it would be fun to bite and pull them out on each other and I”m sure oliver was in the planning committee.
one of lisa’s favorite’s – lilacs – they are in blooms on the tree she planted 10yrs ago and blooms in her angel garden we took a few down to her niche. everyone wanted to go – we all know what lilacs mean to mom
looked around at so much left untouched now -the coffee pot, our robes on the back of the bathroom. it’s late, my favorite time to kiss the kids goodnight when whey are are already in slumber.. Danielle has her new kitten curled up tight to her, David and Katie – as usual – windows wide open” b/c they are hot” – they are not it’s just them. kiss them too – neither stir.
Now I have to find that magical way to find slumber. I do everything under the sun, read, listen to classical music, hypnosis, none works for long because I’m sure she is there to make the plans for the next day. you will never be forgotten or your lilacs

God speed Senator Kennedy, news just broke he has a brain tumor. He has served since before I was born. I am without words as Camelot continues to dwindle. God Speed Senator Kennedy – may your treatment and life be painless as you battle your brain cancer. God Bless

wonderful, incredible, took David and Drew (across the street) Katie and Autumn (from school) Danielle didn’t want to go. the special effects were amazing. muggy sunday here in lacey… sad to think when we saw the original Narnia.. lisa was with us.. it didn’t hit me until the end of the movie… hate when it sneaks up on me like that. Danielle’s kitty arrives tomorrow. Orange maine Coon.. she is so excited.. she picked him (yes our first boy animal) when he was maybe 2 days or so. She is hoping to get some good pics of him and daisy together.
lots of chores to do once friends go home 
Lisa’ angel garden is all done, bench is in, it’s beautiful, all the sprinklers are working so I don’t have to remember to water it. Taught David how to mow the back yesterday.. he’s getting so big. his voice has changed.. they are all so amazing to watch.. it’s nearly as fun as when they were todlers how quickly they are changing. I only wish Lisa was here to see it.

Below is the garden we design to be our Angel Garden in memory of Lisa. We are still waiting for the stone bench to come. Erica and her husband are parents to another girl in Katie’s class. Eric and Bill design gardens like this – I told them there had to be lilac tree which Lisa absolutely loved and then Erica who pics the plants/flowers just had a feel of what Lisa would like and she hit it right on. Anyone is welcome and spend time in the garden when it is finished. Since they knew Lisa they were just the people to design a garden for her. David can’t wait to go out and sit and “talk to mommy” as he says. It’s absolutely beautiful. enjoy
