Happy Father’s Day!!

I made peanut butter cookies for the guys in my life–who are all so good and kind to their silly Mother-in-law. I love them all so much.

Happy Father’s Day Jacob, Nate & Josh!! You guys are the best!

And I mean it.

(Anybody want a peanut?)

Heh, heh.

But July is coming up fast so that became my excuse…

to not dilly-dally around.

Come on…

Isn’t this the coolest 4th of July puzzle you’ve ever SEEN?!

Good-bye, Again

And just when we thought we had them, for real this time…they’re off again. Dane will be attending school in Arkansas for a year and then going wherever the job market takes him. I know he needs to do this, but that only helps my heart a tiny bit.

I’d love to dream that something, someday would bring them back here, to stay.  But, honestly, I don’t know if anything ever really will. They love traveling and having adventures and being in new places all the time. I think we must just be too sedate for these little nomads. *sigh*

I’ll miss them more than they will ever know.

I’ll miss all the hugs

and the impromptu drop ins

and the lending books

and the dinner invites

and that cute face looking in my door window

and the Mr Grinch parties

and those lovely whiskers

and putting special candy in the treat jar

and going to summer booths

and the little shy smiles

and…

and…

and…

*sigh* again.

Believe it or not, this is me…

being brave.
