Man, the theaters these days are amazing! A whole theater with maybe 25 full size leather recliners so everyone can sit back just like in their living rooms. Sweet!

Yesterday was coffee with daughter #2, a trip to Camping World to pick up a few niceties, then to daughter #1’s house to watch a few episodes of The Voice. Then we went out to Red Robin for dinner and to the movies to see Dolphin Tale 2. Fun!

Today, I head back over the mountains to visit with my brother-friend and take him a painting I did for him. Hopefully the trailer will be ready tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

A few of my dear friends have asked me how I can possibly leave my kids and grandkids and brother to travel clear across the country to live. At first it made me feel bad when they asked. I felt judged…that maybe there was something wrong with my maternal instinct. But yesterday when I left daughter #2 after our visit, I got choked up. Last night I layed down with my youngest grand daughter to get her to sleep. She listens to Norah Jones at night. “Come Away With Me” came on. That was one of Mr. Virgo’s and my “fall in love with you” songs so the tears came easily as I watched that precious little face sleeping beside me. Am I going to miss my family? Of course I am. I’ve always wanted to live back in WV and my cost of living will certainly be lower than it is in Colorado, but even that isn’t the reason I’m sacrificing this time with my family. I’m doing this because my aunt needs me. I’m doing this because it’s what my grandma taught me to do…to take care of our loved ones as best we can. I’ll do my very best to provide my aunt with a comfortable life. But don’t think I won’t miss my babies…big and small. That will be the hard part. <3
