Good Evening. World!... Thursday April 7th, 2016.
Well--- got a face time call from Eric and Nicole this evening--- great seeing them and little Jase is growing so darn fast--- crawling and trying to stand holding on to furniture now so it won't be long. He is 8 months now -- just can't believe that much time has passed already.
Since my last entry I have been back to Virginia when Jase was born last July --- and also when he turned 6 months old too! Both visits were 3 weeks long and enjoyed the luxury of the trips going for so long.
We were in almost gonna buy 2 other houses til we finally settled on 1690 young ave, Paradise, ca.
It is soooo wonderful to be in a house again and we have been settling slowly the last 2 weeks and just trying to remember where I put things is a miracle when I remember where it is! We still have to buy a couch and a kitchen table/ chairs and a small desk for my studio. It's all coming together and I feel so thankful each morning when I wake up and we are here. We went to Yreka twice in the last 2 weeks to pick up our storage stuff and still can't find a few important items in my karnex out in big springs at Teresa Jo's house. Those travel days were exhausting leaving at 5 am and returning by 6 pm and thankful to have great weather and see the mountain again! Only got to see Teresa Jo for a few hours and that was great in my book!
I will just have to go back up for another visit sometime in early May to look again for a few items I couldn't find last time.
Little Jase looking so precious!
This was Eric -- Jase's daddy at about the same age. You can tell the similarity completely!
It looks like a huge place to learn about president Jefferson's life there!
Here is a link to a house tour of the inside of our house-- it's on u-tube.
It's a little long and not planned out-- I got side tracked making dinner and forgot the camera was on--opps.... I definitely am not a photographer , that is for sure!
Hope you can kinda get a feel for the new dwelling here.
A little extra event here--
Today we went to a local nursery looking at potential yard plants etc... And as we left I went over to look at the Bonsai display and have been contemplating buying one in memory of Bonnie Jo's 17th angel-bday this year (August) --- just find it so hard to realize 17 years have wizzed by ! I found her old journals while moving ( I have keep them in our safe) but just haven't had the nerve and courage to read too much of them. Welllll,..... I did this week for a few nights stayed up late and sure enjoyed being in her presence -- it's just almost like being with her again. Thank you Bonnie Jo for sharing your heart then ----- so I could enjoy you now. I guess that was all it took for me to be more alerted to strange things that happen when we least suspect it.... For right as I was admiring the Bonsai plants--- wind chimes started sounding in the nearby gezebo and I really couldn't detect a source of wind. It definitely was beautiful and strange all at once. I thanked the lord for the reminder that she is so close to my heart all the time. She was just making sure I didn't miss that opportunity of her passing by me. Thanks sweetheart!
