Back to Aloneness

The husband is off traveling again, then back to Colorado.  I will have solitude here in Oklahoma.  This has an end, and it can not come quick enough.

Last night was the wonderful wedding shower for the son and his fiance at her grandmother's house.  It was well attended and they got LOTS of wonderful things.  The best part was how loving they are to each other.  They have great respect for each other and that is a wonderful thing to see.    

The Last Hurrah!

Tonight will be the last hurrah at the OK home.  We have had MANY gatherings as this at this house.  We make food, we have people over, we have a bonfire, and just good times.  The main reason for this one is to celebrate the youngest daughter's birthday.  We are also throwing in there that we will not have another like this, so it is our house colding, opposite of house warming party.  I am not sure who will come and it might be very few, that's OK.  Few might be better than lots.  Who knows maybe just our children show up.  Just so my daughter knows that her parents love her is what I am after.

Grand-pets

Is there such a thing?  Of course!  These are pets that belong to my children, so they are grand-pets.  I have three that live with me, the "little boys".  And my son has two more. and the daughter has one.  The other daughter has a snake, but it is not such a lovable pet.  Sorry no pictures.

This is a Wonderful Home...

Hopefully it will continue to be a wonderful home for someone else.  I would love to turn over the keys to a family that will love this place half as much as I have.  Walking through it tonight showing how great it is reminded me again of all the love this house has to share.

It's Happening...

I am missing the husband like crazy, but I am also missing my new home.  I am SO ready to be there with my "little boys"!  I only wish it were going to be sooner than later.  We made the new home so cozy and it is so beautiful and I catch myself thinking about how I am going to make this better or change that.  I will just have to be patient and make to most of my time here.  I do have a rehearsal dinner to plan and all the reception food for the son's wedding.  I can still spend quality time with my mother.  It seems that she is expecting to go any day now.  And should that happen it will be better to be here rather than 600 miles away.  But I can still wish for being there especially since the husband is there.

More Pictures of the New House

So, here are some random pictures of the house.  It is a work in progress.  It will take some time to be "home".  The pets are not there and all the furniture is not there and mostly I am not there.  But there are wonderful things about the house.

First Load Completed

The first load has been successfully delivered to Colorado.  It was the biggest part of our belongings.  The rest will go later when I move there to stay.  Right now the husband is occupying the Colorado house and I the Oklahoma house with the "little boys".

Here are the gnomes making their way to the truck for their new adventure.
