When we lost my mom a number of years ago, the best salve for our wounded hearts was to be able to talk about her. It sounds like your friends provided just what was needed.

No allergies that way! And I, too, still have a Ruby-shaped hole in my heart and always will. There will never be another Ruby.<br />Once volleyball season is over, life will be quieter!

I sure do miss Seth Meyers these days, though!<br />My attention span is SO short that I can't imagine having to pay attention for all those meetings and conferences you had to attend!<br />I tried a LOT of names on her before I decided on Nora Pearl. I call her Ruby a lot, but less and less as I get more used to her!<br />I do like to think my mom is enjoying watching over us.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-83283696398960307852016-10-04T21:48:47.617-05:002016-10-04T21:48:47.617-05:00Thanks, Josie!

I think cooler weather will help, too, because the heat and humidity we've been having sucks the life out of you. Nora Pearl is a hot mess, but we love her! <br />I'm so happy Emma found a dress she loved and it didn't cost an arm and a leg! Thank you for your kind words!<br />That party was THE BEST! I look forward to doing it again. Those are people who have literally known me since birth and aren't even related to me!<br />I hate answering the phone at the office, because I'm pretty positive I won't be able to help whoever is on the line!

SO glad you have her :)<br /><br />Sorry you've been so tired, though, my Dyannedilion! I hope things change soon so that you're not pushed to your limits all the time. I know what you mean about not even being able to bear the thought of opening the laptop and I'm glad you've been prioritising looking after yourself.<br /><br />The party looks like GREAT fun and your mom was definitely there, partaking and enjoying. I think every time we remember someone we've loved and lost, their legend lives on in our hearts, and I reckon God passes the message on.<br /><br />You're never too old to learn.

Hang in there it gets better - I'm sure - I hope.<br /><br />Emma is such a pretty girl - congrats on the nomination and her dress was gorgeous. <br />We had our Homecoming last weekend - Amelia was on the middle school cheering squad, and James went to the game with friends; as freshmen they did not attend the dance. <br /><br />OMG Nora Pearl is so adorable - how did you come up with her name? So so cute.<br /><br />Hang in there, get some extra rest!<br /><br />I am certain your mom is always near watching over everyone - sounds like it was a lovely afternoon.<br /><br />:)Marisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818816716586417433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-69115894189456386412016-10-02T16:47:31.456-05:002016-10-02T16:47:31.456-05:00I am delighted to see you back among us, I suspect...I am delighted to see you back among us, I suspected the beginning of the school year was wearing you out. I've totally enjoyed the photos of Nora Pearl on FB though. She is adorable and by the size of those ears she has to grow into, she is going to be able to hold her own with the boys!<br /><br />Emma was drop dead gorgeous in that sparkly gown, it looked like it was just meant for her. I'm delighted it stayed in place and that she had a wonderful time. Precious memories she will keep forever!<br /><br />I loved the "old gang" party that you attended, I am certain your mother was right there in the midst of you enjoying every minute of it. What a lovely way to share memories and love!<br /><br />I'm sure your new office hours will be running smoothly in no time, thought I have to say I am loving the no ringing phones at home! Have a beautiful October in such a pretty place!
