A family portrait taken for Bill's b-day party.(Bill is the little guy on the left). This will be the last photo of all of us as Bec has headed back to Alaska.(l-r Top-me, Jim 1st row-James, Becki and Bill).Her father and I drove her to the airport and on the way home both of us were a little teary eyed. Even though she has lived in Alaska for over a year it was like sending her off all over again. It doesn't get easier. In the manual that didn't come with children when they where born the how you are suppose to cope with' their leaving the nest' chapter was missing. But that is the beautiful thing about families no matter were in life they are they are still your family and preparing them to have families of their own is one of our jobs.
Now I can take some time and pick up the aftermath and maybe get some tatting done.:).
P.S. To Tatting Chic- your blog goes into error when I try to open it. Just thought you would like to know.

Well, I always said if the kids moved far away it would just give me a reason to travel. So of course, they all live close! LOL! But my daughter & her family did live in Alabama for a few years so I got to travel. And I have a son who will go to school in CO next year, so looks like travel is on the horizon again!
I know how difficult it is to be far from our family, but we are very, very blessed now with the internet and the messenger. I am 61 with one daughter and 2, almost three grand children living in town, buy my mom, 81 is often traveling to visit my brothers who live in another state and finally I got het lo use the messenger and we talk to each other everyday, so we do not feel we are far.
Mom, I think you need to learn your left from your right. Bill is on the far right. Jamey is on the left. Just FYI
