Farewell My Beloved

This past weekend we traveled to San Diego to visit with family. We out to dinner and lunch with both sides of our family. Nicole caught up with her friend Sarah-- who made as each a necklace. The greatness of that weekend, however, will forever be overshadowed by the loss of my beloved blanket. Over 26 years ago, my silk blanket was sown for me by my Grandma Kent. It has traveled with me all over the United States, Europe, Caribbean, and The British Isles. My blanket along with my pillow were left at the hotel in San Diego. I hope my blanket brings as much happiness as I have had over the past 26 years with it! 

A Special Poem

This week Marilyn Hyer, a lady from church, gave Nicole and I glass jars of nuts for our birthdays. She also wrote us this poem:

Two of our Father's precious pearls,

Came to earth to be with us,

With never a complaint or fuss,

Always cheerful with smiles so dear

Even if your hearts may fear.

Your life has not been an easy one,

But loving parents have made it fun.

Our Father has a purpose in this,

And promises you a future bliss

As you endure it well.

And only time will tell -

Of mansions he has prepared for you,

As you continue to remain true.

 

She is very kind, thoughtful lady!

Eclipse

Since I was in bed with a stiff neck, I took the opportunity to re-watch Twilight on Wednesday and New Moon on Thursday in preparation for watching Eclipse on Friday. Ten Twi-hards joined us for lunch at Rosa's on Friday, July 9th. The Kent girls had our usual meals, but had a new atmosphere. Tami told me that Kristen Stewart plays a character in a The Cake Eaters who has Friedreich's Ataxia. Apparently, it was on HBO. I thought she did not know what she was talking about, but she was correct. I'll have to see it! Angela, Yvette, and some others joined us for 1:30 showing at the Maya theater. The theater was packed! We sat at the bottom with everyone else. Boo-hoo. This movie was probably the best out of the Twilight movies, however I still think the first one was the best as far as transitions go. My favorite part was the tent scene. Of course, the books are always better!
