the weekend

Up the ladder, installing rings on the potlights. Mom in the background "whipping up pies". This little miss ate half a pie on Saturday(for real!), Grandma gave her some apples, I gave her some chips, I let her lick the measuring cup from the pancake batter and she had 2 portions of her dogfood. She had the best day of her life. Sunday morning, I woke up and dried some dishes that were beside the sink. I broke into tears though when I came across this teapot. Over 5 years ago, I had painted this with Tyson on our honeymoon, and until I dried the inside, I'd forgotten that I'd written some special things inside of it. I was brought back to that moment and could remember it too clearly. My eyes started welling up and I couldn't hold back. The pain is still so strong, and hurts so bad, and too often. I wanted to smash the teapot onto the ground. Keith knew what was wrong and just hugged me. He's so great and very understanding. At that point I was bawling, and Mom put the teapot away and is going to get a new one. It's still so hard coming across those memories and reminders. After breakfast, Keith and I took Lola to the beach and she went swimming and chased rocks. Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Lemonlaws... Our family helped Grandpa's neighbor erect a city-size street light in their yard. Then Keith and I went on their trampoline and double jumped each other. I LOVE trampolines!! After supper, I needed to reconnect with peace and nature. I went into the forest (where Amanda, Kody, Holly and I used to build forts as kids) and picked wild blueberries. I just sat there in the moss singing to myself and picking the sweetest prettiest berries :) I fed them to Keith (and me) for breakfast this morning, and it felt so exciting. Oh! My favorite show is on right now... Rob & Big! And I'm adding more pretties to the shop today and tomorrow...till I'm done :) Happy Monday!
