Oh, what a fantastic day it has been! It must have gotten up into the 50's today. It has been beautiful; it still is. Right now it is 41-cool and brisk-the 'boys'(dogs) and I just came in from our evening walk. It's hard to fathom that snow will be here just 24hrs. from now. Maybe I'll make some snow cream this time. We use to make it when I was a kid and I did it for my kids when they where little (though they don't remember it). Funny how the things I remember about their childhood are not the things they remember. I remember the snow cream, filling a carafe with hot cocoa and drinking it at the bus stop in the mornings when the boys (human sons) went to Cumberland, star gazing in the field with said carafe (cocoa or coffee). I remember Chris and I going out there to watch a meteor shower-had to be close to 1 or 2 in the morning. We had been out there a while watching what really was a lot of shooting stars when I looked directly above my head. It was a big white ball with this beautiful red tail with tinges of blue. There it was all glowing and streaking across the night sky. It was fantastic! I kept shouting at Chris "Look up! Look up!", but he kept looking in the opposite direction and screaming "Where? Where?". Poor kid. He never saw it. For the longest time I could not talk about it. Couldn't even hint at it without him getting upset. I wonder if he remembers that. Probably not. Oh, well. The fate of being Mom-you get to remember things that seem so precious to you but not even important enough for them to think about. It really has been a wonderful day. Good night and God bless.

That was really enjoyable to read. Our children will remember our memories (at least some version of our memories I hope) when they have their children. (^_^)
