Little Piles Everywhere

Being so scatterbrained lately, I've come to realize that I have little piles of "this and that" in odd places around the house.  And when it comes to finding things .... my memory is on the fritz with all the stress.  So I spend too much time looking for things, and not enough time dealing with them.

I don't know how long this phase lasts, but I sure hope it passes quickly!

I'm big on pictures -- taking them, saving them, and folks who know how much I like pictures send them to me as well!  Especially family photos.  To me, it's important to know where you come from in order to get where you're going. 



I found these just yesterday,
in another one of these little piles,
so I'm going to share them.















Brian "spelunking" at Lava Beds National Monument 

and a joyous moment before jumping in the lake! 

Dear Brian,
You gave me moments of sheer joy; I will never forget the laughs and tears, the adventures and mishaps we've shared over the years. 
I miss you every day,
Love, Mom
