“The best things in life are unseen. That’s why we close our eyes when we kiss

Can you see the face in the cloud?

Mom says she guesses she is glad this week is finally over. She reached down picked me up and placed me beside her on the loveseat, then reached over and put Sam-Sam on her lap. I liked this…Dad in his chair and Mom and I and Sam on the loveseat. All of us together.

If we still had Monkey she would be on Mom shoulder, as it is……………..

Well, anyway. The little family came from Craig, Colorado and spent 6 whole days with us.

The kids stayed with us or with Aunt Shannon. Their Mom and Dad stayed in the fifth-wheel camper.

There were lots of bike rides and

dog walks and family times of eating.

Romeo, the horse, even came to the picnic.

Then suddenly it was time for everyone to go…Mom cried. She said she is having trouble with all the good-byes that happened this week.

I’ve stayed RIGHT at Mom’s side or RIGHT behind her —sometimes she says: “I love you, Boomie! But not so close, I have to walk, you know.” Then she gives me a kiss on the nose and asks me to move.

BUT

Staying right by your side…That is what Boomie’s are for!

So I stick like glue. I do this, because I know Mom needs me.

Boomer

Just as I was getting used to the winter colors…marveling at the colors that consist of pale blues, the shimmery lavenders, the twenty shade of pink…

The heavens blazed with forgotten shades of orange and yellow

Lighting up the canyons and the Uncompahgre Plateau…(Un-come-pah-gray, with the accent on the ‘pah’)

Even the blue of the sky reminded me of the blue of summer.

I think the heavens send us these visual reminders that spring and summer really does come…the skies will be full of warm colors and blue skies…hang on…hang on…
