My mom, Granny Girl, came to visit us this weekend with my nephew Cameron. Coondog woke up Saturday morning and asked what had happened to his house. It was my mom. She woke up full of energy and ideas of how to get our house into shape. The overflow room off our kitchen where the last owners had left all their extra construction supplies was cleaned out and the floor mopped. Now it's our dining room. The porch was cleared and swept. Ladybug's toad friend that was living there was very put out but found a new home in the few things left on it out of necessity. The car was packed with laundry and the recyclables that had been piling up in the kitchen. We girls were leaving for town to get stuff done.
It was so nice to just sit and talk to my mom while Ladybug slept and the laundry was going. I also got to drive her around the town. It was such a quick trip, we didn't get to do everything but we sure did a lot! Hopefully on the next visit, we can walk down main street visiting all the stores rather than just driving by. I also want to take her all around our mountains. She said we live in a postcard.
It helped that she came while the mist was coming up over the ridge. I see this view everyday. Not bad is it? On her next trip, we'll have to go to the waterfall and Lookout Rock where you can see the whole valley and several layers of mountains behind it. It's nice to see something that is becoming familiar to me through the eyes of a newcomer. It brings back the wonder I felt when we first moved here.
