Shhhh.....

Don't anyone make a peep and so help me if those dogs bark I'll remove their vocal cords!   Betsy just left for her Tuesday morning shopping trip with Lisa.  The baby is taking a nap and I'm enjoying the quiet.  For so many years there was never quiet.  Always kids around laughing, playing, having fun.  I miss that.  Sometimes I did actually say that I couldn't wait for them to grow up and darned if they didn't.  They did it so fast I never even saw it happen. Summers were such fun.  Everyone swimming in the pool all day long.  Rainy days spent in our basement playing hide and go seek in the dark. Even when everyone started school I knew they would be around afterwards.  Homework and some more playing with the neighborhood kids.  But all good things must come to an end and are replaced by new good things.  Cara being happy with her job in California.  Steph married with a baby and Betsy content with being Betsy.  I am enjoying this moment in time.  That's all they are. Moments.  Don't wish them away they don't need any help in passing.
