Because We Love Her

Simply put, no news IS good news. 
 
Chloe had a great road trip with Grandma, Grandpa and “Star”, the dog.  She has started fifth grade, likes her teacher and is back in the swing of things.
 
Colin began his first year in high school. We’ve witnessed a new ‘style’ from him.  A cross between man in black meets the blues brothers.  His signature accessory are his sunglass’s….I hear he has a new nic name, Shades.  He attended his first dance and high school football game, lets not say much about the team.  They are needing some defense shall we say? 
 
Chloe took care of a neighbors home/dogs while they were away and from Chloes extra care of the animals, she was treated to an amazing experience.  We were treated to a trip to The Viewpoint Inn, where a scene from Chloe’s favorite film, Twilight was filmed.  The owner allowed us to tour the entire upstairs. I filmed Chloe doing some reinactment of the ‘bad’ vampires race downstairs at the end.  The food is really good, the desserts are to ‘die’ for.  Chloe found a brick with the stars names in it.  Edward and Bella!
 
We are trying to catch up around here.  Colin and I were way overdue for our own physicals with our Doctors.  His was last week and mine is coming up.  Ivey is finally up to date with her shots as well.  The summer was full of distractions and I’m not even talking about Chloe’s health issues. 
 
Has anyone read the book, The Secret Garden?  This house was consumed with 50 year old plants, junk tree’s, ivy and weeds………until Ron came by with chainsaw, tools, his trailer and 3 days worth of time.  We kicked it around here and to see the house again gives one a sense of renewal, of hope for the future.  It makes this place look inviting.  Perhaps someone will fall in love with it as I did many years ago.  It will be good to move on, move forward.
 
I’d like to say all is well…for now I’ll truthfully say most is well.
 
The summer led me to places I thought I’d never go.  I’d like to write about it and yet there is a sense of protecting something bigger than my own voice, the freedom I so beleive in.
 
For now, know that Chloe is well and for your belief in this I am smiling and sending you gratitude beyond the ‘blue ponies”(ask chloe…)
 
Stay tuned for more good news…..
 
Ciao,
 
Dana
