National Dog Day

Awh, national dog day is all over facebook.
Lilly just left us to chase bunnies across the rainbow bridge so I didn't comment.

I did however go to the grocery store, and as i walked past a end cap of her exact dog food, thought all these thoughts in the span of a second. . .

• I should get dog food.
• I should check if we need dog food.
• Why don't I know if we need dog food?
• I feed her everyday.
• Whose been feeding the dog if not me?
• Well we don't have to feed the dog any more....

 Because Lilly is gone. :/

(I guess I've stopped thinking about it constantly, just a couple times a day now.)
Love you miss you Lilly!

Chelsea

Short but sweet visit.  Just like it was all yesterday !!!

Dear Lord, please give me the strength!

Goodbye little do-hickey-mabobs! 

It's not that we don't love you,  we do!  You each hold special, ridiculously sentimental memories for me. 

     George, obviously always a favorite because you came with all your books (that are still around here somewhere) -girls loved loved loved CG.

     Starfish Santa, you were a favorite of grandma and grandpa Gillis's, not sure where you came from (Annie ? 1998). I'm tempted to stop and call to see if she wants it back ?  

     Those little backpacks!  They earned selling girl scout cookies - and would be perfect for school if they might want them in the future (but their rooms are overflowing with "sentimentality". As well, can't put it up there ) . . . 

      And finally cup stacking !! Is it still hot ?  It was all about speed stacking in 2nd grade and we had the timer mat and everything.  I think the dog eventually at the cups.

      Sigh. Where was I ?  

So - it's not that I don't love you, it's just that you're STUFF. .  . I can do this !  And I will NOT have to do this over even little bit of memorabilia, will I?  

Well that was quick !! What happened !

Last day at Beaver Creek.  Sigh.  Bye bye mountains. 

Toria with some of her people stop Beaver Creek ski reset.

Isabelle, Cati, Toria and Abi.

Here is the extra bag that never got unpacked.  sewing machine, anti stress bath salts. . . The nook was well used though. 

Cati and Toria at Loaded Joes, my new favorite restaurant.
