This little hamster has nothing to do with anything. I just thought it was cute.
Went by mom's grave today. There was this little butterfly flying all over and around it. Of course I know it was just a butterfly and it just happened to be there.......but I would like to think it was some kind of sign. Silly me.
Not much of anything going on around here. Years back I used to scrapbook (and I really want to get back into it) and make cards but some how I stopped doing it. Anyway I have tons of scrapbooking stuff all over my house so I have been trying to get everything in one place and packed up all nice and neat. My house will look some cleaner and if I do decide to start back at least everything will be in one place.
Slowly but surely I am trying to clean my clutter and get rid of things I don't need. I also am still slowly going through mom's things at dad's house. Some days it is easy going other days I just can't get rid of any of her things.
Looks like a storm coming up so I had better get off line.
Take care,
Kathy

Are you kidding me? Of course it's not just a butterfly, silly. : )
Keep the faith.
And btw...love the cutie pie hamster. I've had quite a few of those!
Hugs,

Sometimes a change is good. I'll put this journal on my alerts. 'On Ya' -ma
Take your time, Kathy. Getting rid of a loved one's things is the hardest thing to do in this world. My husband died over five years ago, and I just couldn't get rid of his clothes until I moved to a different house three years later--and I still have a large suitcase in the basement, with some of his better things. Also have a box in the library entitled "Mementos of Nels"--and I think that will be there until I die. Just a tip--if you can find someone who can use your Mom's things, it is MUCH easier to give them to someone than toss them or take them to Goodwill, or such like place. (((hugs))), LaVern
Keeping busy always helps Kath.
We had an awful storm today. Rained like crazy, and lightning striking all over the place. Some scary stuff!
Love ya,
Connie
I'm sure it's hard to clean out your mom's stuff. The hamster thing is cute. Hey you never know what that butterfly meant, maybe it was something.
Four years ago on July 4 my common law husband died. One of the planters that was sent had a butterfly in it. When we came home from the viewing there was a butterfly flying around the door. I felt like it was a sign. It was hard going through his things. My mother helped. We gave things to Goodwill. It is hard at first, but gets a little easier. My thoughts are with you.
Kathy love don't dismiss that little butterfly. I can tell you a true story that happened to me 15 years ago. My dearest Mother died (we had always lived together and were even closer after my Father died at only 59 years old many years ago) so I miss her more that I can say...anyway the morning after she died I went into our bathroom..now there are no windows there, it is in the middle of the house, I was the only one in the house and had been in the bathroom just before I went to bed...BUT that morning in the bathroom was the most beautiful butterfly..now it was only end of April so not actually butterfly time..but there it was...was it a message ? I don't know but from that minute on I felt a great peace.. Do get on with the making of your cards you will enjoy it again I am sure and whilst you are doing them you are away from everything else, Love Sybil xx

I think the hardest part of losing a parent is having to sort through what they left behind...I cried when we had to pack up Doc's (my other half) Moms apartment....I think the butterfly might of very well been your mother letting you know she was still there for you in spirit. Your in my thoughts. (Hugs)Indigo
