Surrounded by Love

I look around the room. Every flat surface is covered by pictures. Smiling faces of his wife, his daughters, and all his "boogers". The bed where he spent every night of the last thirty plus years with the love of his life is gone. Replaced by a hospital bed with whirring ticking sighing appendages. He is waiting, we're not sure what for. Perhaps it's the goodbye kiss of every grandchild, the surety that we are ok, that we will be ok. We wait. We watch. He sleeps on, surrounded by the love he created. We are not on death watch. We are on a heaven watch, for in that moment that he draws his last breath here he will draw his next there. He will open his eyes to his bride elbowing Saint Peter out of the way at those pearly gates. What a welcome home party he will find. We will cry for a Papa sized hole will have formed in our hearts. Hearts that may feel like Swiss cheese for all their recent holes. We will smile through tears and remember the wonderful man who has gone on to ship shape up Heaven for our arrival someday. We will go on because that's what he taught us to do with every breath and every moment of his life. Someday soon we will have our family reunion in the sky and on that day there will be much rejoicing. Back here we may not be able to rejoice for awhile but we will again...because the He Coon said so.

Pinterest in my Kitchen

Well, I have now recreated two recipes that I pinned on Pinterest. The first one was a recipe for Blueberry Cheesecake Pockets. It was one of the easiest recipes I've ever done and the result was quite yummy. Tonight I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars. I won't know how they taste until tomorrow but all the components tasted yummy. I hope it tastes as good as it smells. The recipe says to make sure the pan is totally chilled before cutting into bars. Since I don't have any room in my fridge I put the bars out in my truck! It should be as cold as a fridge out there tonight!!

Blueberry Cream Cheese pockets

Tonight I made Blueberry Cream Cheese pockets for my ladies group. I saw the recipe on Pintrest. They were easy to make and turned out very yummy. This recipe will be a keeper!

Back to the blog

Per the request of my sista-in-luv I am reviving my blog.

Life is crazy busy. It feels like I blink and another month has gone by.

We had today off for MLK Day. I cleaned my room and bath room. Also I did 5 loads of laundry and went to Walmart. I wandered the aisles at Wally world with a largish hole in my pants which I didn't know about until I got home and Amor said something about it! Oops! Then he asks my brother-in-law if he saw my butt. B.I.L. said he did not so Amor informed him that it was very very white! Sheesh.
