today, as I sat in the living room looking out the window I spent a few happy moments remembering the wonderful neighbours we have had over the years…

our next door neighbours became our very good friends… when the girls were first born they would take them home so that we could eat our supper without interruption… the girls would go over to their house to see if “Uncle Buzz could come out to play?” and he did… we fed them on Wednesday nights and they babysat while we went bowling… at one point Ellen produced a cookbook for each of them with all of the recipes she made that we all loved…

the neighbour across the street made Barbie clothes and we shared many meals and coffee on the deck…

the neighbour a few houses down the lane would come and help my beloved with whatever project he was working on and they had such fun together…

the neighbour across the back lane shared their pool…

these days we aren’t quite as close to the neighbours, as all of those have gone, but they are all kind and caring in their own way…

made me think of today’s contemplating card;-)…

maybe, if the world ever returns to some semblance of normal, I will have them all over for a meal and time together;-)…

2191…

big girl pants, blessed, blog, days, loss, moments, posts, snail’s pace, widow

I wrote my first blog on December 1, 2012… it was nine months since my beloved died and I had gone through many difficult times as I learned what it meant to be a widow…

not really sure if the time has flown by or moved at a snail’s pace…

that day I was just going to see what WordPress was all about, lol…

Google tells me it has been 2191 days and I’ve posted almost every one of those and twice on a few…

that first day I put up this picture… it was of flowers that my colleagues sent me…

it is still one of my favourite shots…

every day when I write a post I check to see if the title has been used before… always interesting to see what I’ve written previously… sometimes I am surprised at what I’ve posted… other times I can remember every word…

life has changed a whole lot in six years… but I am still getting used to the new journey…

I am blessed but miss my beloved every day…
