About this morning

It is very windy and rainy here. 

Yesterday we wrote early Mother's Day Cards,

which included funny lines like:

Cleo is licking Elizabeth's socks

and earlier Cleo was rubbing Mr. Husband's neck and head

while we were drinking tea.

We were gone overnight for the 9th day memorial service

as it was easier to stay for liturgy the next day than 

drive back that night and drive again the next morning.

Cleo missed us...

It is very windy and rainy this morning.

I am just glad to be home.

We had a small dinner party for a belated

birthday celebration for Mr. Husband,

and the blue and white streamers were still up.

{I will have a separate blog post about this DV 

this week.}

Just two weeks ago the munchkin was here

for a visit ... he had such fun with the little

church and the boat from HDM...

He has a lot of fun playing here!

I still feel like I am in a bit of a daze as his 

father is now gone. 

Grief is hard and very individual to the person.

 

While I've kept candles going on the other icon corner

I've not been able to do this one.

Exhaustion, grief, and plain business do that to a person.

I hope to change them out to the clear ones 

for Pascha soon, as it is the Easter Season for 40 days...
