| Sharing more friendship with my good buddy Joanne at Starbucks yesterday. We have been trying to share some time for the past few weeks... & YAY we finally got together! As you can see my life has been a real TAPESTRY of friendship & love this past week or so! The pics speak for them selves pretty much... each time I sit down to do a blog, I have many photos to sift through and decide which to share and this blog is no exception to that... since my last blog post, I have taken over a hundred... so always hard to know where to begin. The little gift I received from my Auntie Betty this past week in the mail, pretty much was made for me... I do take a lot of photos...stating: "She used her camera to capture the big moments, and her heart to capture the small ones." Since Brian lost his brother, Bruce, on August 11th... we have had a real whirlwind of friends dropping by to share their compassion... cards, flowers, food...and lots of love and friendship. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support. In addition to the photos shown above we have also had a visit from our friend and Brian's boss, Ross... We also had a visit from Brian's friend, Tommy. We were treated to a meal at Brown's Social House on Tuesday night with my good gym friend, Ella. I have not made it to the gym in over a week now... so much going on always, it seems. We have shared a few loving visits with my parents in law. they seem to be doing very well considering they have recently lost their oldest son. They have many bouquets of flowers and cards etc, as well. I know they have loved all the love friendship and support they have received at this time of loss. Jana and Nels were in Vegas for a week... and Beau and Mariah's other Grandma, Nancy, came from Edmonton to look after the kids. It is so nice when the grandkids can share their love with all their relatives. Their cousins, Linnea and Lars came from Regina for a sleepover too. So they had tons of fun while their mommy and daddy were gone. Last night we had a great phone call and visit with our son, Colin. He and his girlfriend Caro just returned from a week of camping in Quebec. We always love hearing from him. Later today I will share visits and meals with more friends...and the beat goes on. Life is really a TAPESTRY of FRiENDSHiP & LOVE! My nephew, SAM is 24 today... Mariah and Beau's Auntie Ingrid also has a birthday today as well... so wishes to them both. On the 24th I will be thinking of my parents in Heaven as they celebrate their anniversary together... I hope they will be dancing to their favourite tune up there... "Satin Doll "! On that note... my rhyme of the day... Life is a tapestry of friendship and love, Coming from here and from up above. I am so lucky to have people who care, So many friends popping by just to share. The people in my life are like a fine weave, In happy moments and in sad ones when we grieve. I have a big tapestry through the many years, So many friends and so many dears. Whether at work, or when I'm at play... The tapestry goes on for a very long way. The memories weave together like a big rug, Special little moments wrapped up in a hug. Life is a tapestry, it really is true, Tapping into fun filled with me and you. Living each moment right from the start, With so many loved ones dear to my heart! |
