Oh, Daddy….let’s take this boy to the beach! SO fun. How could a little boy be more precious? Only ours!! He’s trying seafood paella for the first time! Remember all the first we’re looking forward to?! Puppy, have you ever had seafood paella? If not – you’re gonna! So yummy and healthy…I’ll make us some.
I saw your post a bit ago so came in and jumped on here to say hello. Things have been insanely intense here and also a bit complicated this week. I’ll share that story this weekend. We are making lots of progress which brings me one step closer to you.
I’ll be here working this weekend but with less labor so can find time to post a full update, okay?
I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful weather…and I hope your SUPER cute hairy tummy is full of good food. Keep me close – I’m always with you. I love you, honey. xo
So, apparently – sunflowers need water, food, sun AND kisses to grow! haha. Kisses are awesome.
Just got into bed…very tired again tonight. It’s been nonstop here and we continue tomorrow. There will be 6 workers here tomorrow (painters) working on both the inside and outside of the house. They are also respraying the entry gate. They worked on it today – sanding and priming it. Tomorrow it will be sprayed with fresh black paint.
I get a little further to the finish line each day…but, admittedly, am growing tired. No matter – full speed ahead. Oh, how I am looking forward to a few weeks rest at the farm. Just simple and quiet with the pup, hummingbirds and various wild critters.
I was so happy to see your sweet face today…always happy to hear your voice. Your unique voice echoes over time…it’s my favorite sound. Lifetimes.
I hope you’ve had a nice day and a yummy dinner? Did someone make you a yummy dinner, honey? I hope so. I would have enjoyed doing that so much. Just being with you would have been wonderful. Get some rest and keep me close….you KNOW, right?! I love you so much, BLF. xo
We made it back last night – later than expected or hoped. Around 1 am. It was a tough journey back here and, God knows, I didn’t want to leave the farm or come back here at all. I grew tired of this place years ago. The ride was bumpy in that huge empty truck….we seemed to cross 10K bridges (they are all super bumpy) – it was hard on the old pup but we made it back. I got him back to my house – fed, walked and in bed then I unloaded my personal things and took the truck back to Uhaul. At that hour, barely a soul was on the road or out…everyone was home asleep. My neighbor came to pick me up and brought me home. She is truly a blessing. Not lots of support here.
Today I hit the ground running and I can feel it tonight. Really tired.
I wanted to share that I awaked this morning in the twilight state…still partly dreaming. Guess where I was? Once again it was May 13, 2015…I was about to leave and you’d called me back. I was standing by the kitchen island and you were sitting on your little bench. All my things were packed and loaded and you’ll remember that I’d left out the gate when you finally responded to my text – I turned around and came back. That was my last entry into that property. I wonder if I’ll ever drive through that gate again? I sure hope so. In the dream, I was reliving that morning…what I remember the most is the uncontrollable emotion and tears. I’m sure you can remember well that, at times, I couldn’t catch my breath due to the tears. I remember when the “queen mother” walked in (I was even more saddened about that)…those last few minutes with you were precious beyond words and then…there comes Loretta Lynn’s mama. Yikes.
Puppy…I didn’t want to leave you. It broke my heart. I’ve never stopped missing you even for a moment. For a second time (once in late Sep 2014 and I’m sure in efforts to comfort me) you said, “I’m SURE our paths will cross again someday”. Somehow I knew in those moments you could “feel” our future, too? What a tough day…lots of raw emotions.
I have lots of thoughts and questions about things…about the possible upcoming future. I’m wondering what you’ve got in mind? If you have a timeline? I worry about lots of things, too. For now (even here tonight), I’m just too tired to get deep into things BUT as soon as I can turn a curve here (with the renovation), I’ll try to begin sharing more important questions, hopeful plans, etc. All that matters to me is you and our little family.
I hope you’ve had nice day and someone made you a yummy, healthy dinner. Sleep well, okay? Keep me close – you know where I am. I love you, honey! xo
