You look happy & rested Julia & James brings the best out in you! <br />That was a large shipment of Nicole's things. Two years ago, I finally looked into my Dad's paperwork & what a surprises I found. Dad died Sept 17th 2000, it took me 15 yrs to open the boxes, after moving out east, curiosity got the best of me. You will too, in your own time, when you are ready.<br />I can't imagine your heartache, I just know the void I felt with Dad gone, we were very close. <br />Spring is over & summer is now on the doorstep, ready to walk in & greet us. It was one long winter here on the east coast! I'm so glad that the flooding did not effect you this year.<br />Thinking of you. <br />Hugs, <br />Cynthia<br />Kyrotimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328503785870363796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-3628497273719321212017-06-01T08:40:06.117-03:002017-06-01T08:40:06.117-03:00Hi Julia: I am so happy you went to Ottawa and awa...Hi Julia: I am so happy you went to Ottawa and away from the farm for a bit. To meet your sister there is a nice treat. Your grandchildren are awesome and I can see how much enjoyment you all have together. <br />Nicole's things will give you comfort when you are ready. Take care and I am an email away.

Moooooore please!<br />It's so nice to hear about your family and I am glad you got away to see them AND unexpectedly saw your sister. Do I presume you don't get to see her that often?<br />James' Crystal kit sounds SOOOOO exciting! I would HAVE adored that as a child. When I was in Infant school, my best friend Claire and I spent all day, every play time searching for pretty stones. We'd fill our pockets and take them home. My Mum would despair of me as they often ended up in the washing machine and broke it. The best stone I ever found had secret crystals inside it- if you held it up to the light, you could see these green shards shining inside and it was iridescent rainbow on top. I carried it everywhere for weeks and one day, playing in the garden,left it on top of my shoes and it fell off andd I never saw it again. I was distraught!<br />It's nice to hear he is interested in reading as well as Geology! <br />I love your family photos! Lovely, smiling, happy people!<br />I hope it wasn't too hard receiving Nicole's belongings. I imagine it made it seem all the more real (if I could get any more real, if you know what I mean). I remember sorting through my Grandad's belongings after he died was incredibly sad although bought back many happy memories. I hope that when you do go through the things, that it is the latter, rather than the former for you, though probably will be a mixture of the two.<br />Please do post more, it is a joy to see you and hear what you have been doing!<br />xxKezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-27296575956224129702017-05-30T23:07:00.930-03:002017-05-30T23:07:00.930-03:00Heartwarming.
