summer events


Sorry for the lack of posts over the summer.



My world has been busy.


I decided to create a butterfly/humming bird
memorial garden
in my front yard.  


In order to do that, we had to excavate the river rock front yard, put down pavers, and then crate the garden. 

A few bumps along the way made the project much longer than planned, but with the help of my sister, two daughters and the youngest’s boyfriend, we got it done.  My niece made a plaque for the garden which gave it the finishing touch.



I still hope to put in a couple nice outdoor chairs, table and umbrella.


We had a Celebration of Life BBQ on Aug 28th (just a few days after the 14 year anniversary of finding her body). The purpose was to NORMALIZE talking about her and to share memories. It was a small group but very successful.

The thing I like about having the garden is not only that it is quiet relaxing place but it will also take some care in early spring and late fall. Since the anniversary dates are Mar 8 (the day she vanished) 8/25 (the day they announced finding her body) and Nov 18 (her birthday) these become the times that I care for the garden and fondly remember her.

Additionally, my computer crashed so the only Internet I have is at work on my breaks and my cell phone. I am old and don’t text so writing via the phone is just not gonna happen.

I will post more once my PC situation is resolved.
