What a Wonderful Celebration of Life, it was...for Friend, Ed Wilson.

<3

The Food, was amazing. So Many...of Ed, and Dwight's Friends Cooked up a Huge, Delicious...Storm, of Food.

<3

So many, Many... wonderful pictures of Ed, and his Beloved Horses, over his lifetime.

<3

Dwight, was on Autopilot.

<3

Kept asking if I'd had enough to eat, was trying to make everyone feel cared for, when...I knew...exactly where he was at.

In a Blur.

Such difficult times.

,

When I saw Ed's Saddle, oh my.

Then...his Boots.

Oh....my.

Ran my hand over the Saddle, knowing...how Much Joy Ed had, while seated in that Saddle, over the decades.

<3

I'm so glad, Dwight brought it for Ed's Celebration.

<3

Beautiful.

<3

Ed, and Dwight.

Don't know why I bother making the bed.

: )

Last night, like Every Night...

Miss. Peanut, as soon I lift her into bed....

turns into a Tornado!!

Oh My Gosh!!

She's One Solid 75 Pound Mass of Muscle!!

: )

She Spins...and Roots, Then...Spins Some More!!!

The Blankets, and Pillows Go Flyin'!...

then, she's finally done, after the bed is completely destroyed....

 ready ta 

Snooze.

; )

<3

What would we do, without our Beloved Best Friends?

: )

As I pulled in at Home, this late afternoon, 

received a text from....

Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, and Their Elf...Moya!!!

: )

They asked me if I could join them all for Supper, in Walford!!!

{4 miles from Home. }

Had Too!!

{Can't let Them Down!!! Especially This Time of Year!! Certainly don't want to take any chances of being on The Naughty List.

: ) : ) : ) 

{Trust Me. I'm a little concerned, about That, this year. ; ) Been Rufflin' a Few Feathers, around Home. The Stress... has been mighty ugly, of late. : (}

Mr. and Mrs. Claus, have had their own 'dealings' with IDOT, They Understand.

<3

{Thank Goodness...Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and their Elf...

kinda like me. : )

I'd be in All Kinds of Trouble if They Didn't!!! : ) }

It was Great Visiting with them All.

It's Been Too Long.

<3

Love to Ya...

Prayers, for All.

Barb C.

Yes...

Indeed.

; )

I remember listening to Bread, 'If' {above Tune} while I was visiting Sister, Merry Jo, and her New Husband, Wayne.... when I was 9 years old, in their apartment in Walnut Creek, California.

They flew me out there, to visit. 

: )

I, remember...thinking, at the time... it was the most beautiful song I'd ever heard in my life.

{All...of the 9 Years of it. : ) }

but, 50 years...later, I...still, think it may be the Most Beautiful Song, I've ever heard.

'Love'
