Still no baby

So I decided to tackle another project

cleaning my pantry

yikes

Have you ever looked at expiration dates on your spices?

and really how many cans of tomato sauce do I need

and what's with all these nuts?!

 

It is a beautiful blue sky day...I even opened the kitchen window

 

..I had a Swedish girlfriend who always told me to fling open the windows in the winter

air the house out or risk getting sick

Gosh I miss her. Her name was Sigrid

She had many sayings...

Like " you've got 5minutes to cry about it.....then get yourself back up"

"Your kid will always remember that you were there"

'If all else fails, bake bread"

 

I moved away and lost contact with her...I've tried to find her...but I think she remarried and

that was that.

 

I will be busy this summer with two new grandchildren..

.Tuula is growing so fast...

and praise the Lord..she is just like her mother

and you mother's out there know what I meant by that :)

And hopefully Walter will be born any minute now...!!

 

 I sense the years going by quickly

and I thought today that I must reconnect to my girlfriends...

I  somehow have been very busy these past years and going through much sadness

to connect much....

.But finding Sigrid's old large wooden spoon

in my kitchen drawer has given me pause.....

I need my girlfriends

 

I may even make up with one .....

that I truly do miss.....but ticks me off

 

the days are passing by fast....time to let go of the negative energy

that has kept me mad at her for 8 years

 

I think I may call her...listen to her drop the phone

 

....this could be good
