Remembering

Earlier this week, my family attended a memorial service for my aunt. She had coped with Parkinson's much longer than anyone should have to. We know she is now free and in a much better place. We gathered at the home she shared with my uncle for many years and celebrated and remembered her. Since my parents have been gone for a number of years, my aunt and uncle's home has been very special to me and I always look forward to visiting. It has always been filled with unique items that were gifts or keepsakes collected on their travels. I slipped away from all the relatives took some pictures of a few of my favorite things that will always remind me of my aunt. I will be going back often to see my uncle, but I am afraid that someday, these special treasures will go elsewhere. These images will remind me of her.


Tomorrow, my hubby and I will be taking Miss Zoe and heading for Central Oregon for a few days. It is a much needed respite. I plan to take walks, stare at the mountains, nap and read. There will be good food, wine and no doubt a couple of gin and tonics! I'll share some pictures when we return later this week. M.
