Texas Bound!

Mac, Lilly, Alec (my nephew) and I left early this am for Texas.

We are in Phoenix right now and the sunshine feels amazing! Yahoo...bring on the heat.

This will be a good trip. We have a lot going on, including a huge celebration in honor/memory of my Dad. The kids are looking forward to all the festive events that Ft. Davis puts on for the 4th of July. 

I have a few things to accomplish concerning my Dad's estate, but I am going to mostly sit back and relax.

I had a really tough time kissing Griff bye last night. The guilt I feel for leaving him behind is pretty darn HEAVY on my heart, but I know he will be very well loved and taken care of while we are away.

I will miss Pat bunches too...not use to not having him right by my side!

He is working hard on a project at work and just can't make this trip. I think it will be good for him and Griff to have some "boy" time together.

Texas needs rain badly and Oregon needs sunshine...so maybe I can deliver some Oregon rain while we are out here and bring a ton of Texas sunshine with us when we get home!

I noticed yesterday that some of my Lillies are blooming!

I hope they are still beautiful when I get back, so I can enjoy them.

Love to each of you and

BEST OF LUCK to those of you watching my Lil' Griff Monster! LOL...

He has been really good this past week. He has been giving huge hugs and kisses and even eskimo kisses, so soak 'em up for me!
