Aunt Cleona ,bless her, was an independent thinking woman before her time!! What a great person to have as a relative! Your pewter is beautiful--I have a few pieces I received as wedding gifts, but nothing old. I'm so glad to hear Amanda is having an easier time with her treatments--Brian will be starting chemo soon--hope his goes well also. smiles--JanJan - Life on Buttermilk Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591117627190221626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966627327636758510.post-63253492847471063502012-03-06T09:36:56.205-08:002012-03-06T09:36:56.205-08:00I am new to your blog, but luv reading it!!!

Sorry I have been...Hello Dear Betty....Remember me? Sorry I have been so remiss in my visits. I am having a difficult time finding that "balance" I need. I hope (and somehow know) you will forgive me. Truly enjoyed your post - although I do sense some bittersweetness to it. Ahhhh - your Aunt Cleona sounds like a fine woman - I think I would have loved her well. (Strange - I had a great aunt Leona, and a great aunt Cleone.....) Memories truly are part remembrance and part magic, are they not? And all in all, each a gift from God. I pray for peace during this unsettling time for you....I know you've been brought to this edge before, and here you are again....I know wherever the journey takes you, your baggage will be packed wisely. My prayers also continue for Amanda - and that is a constant whether I'm here to visit you or not. Take good care....I'm off to read up on what I have missed of late. Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin (PS - are those real plants on your deck/patio??? Yikes....we're still hip high in snow in these parts!) (And PSS - if you need to downsize your pewter collection in the event of a move, let me know.... ;o))TheCrankyCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314851714923955216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966627327636758510.post-61696616070365846742012-03-05T18:32:31.773-08:002012-03-05T18:32:31.773-08:00Thank you for another wonderful post.

I so enjoyed your post. Your memories brought back so many of my own that was packed away in my mind. I just sat here and chuckled at the thought of Aunt Cleona wearing all her clothes. Oh for those days of long ago. You will be fine whether the move comes full circle or not. Your faith in God will get you through and the support of your family. God sees the future and he knows what is best for you. You are such an uplifting and positive person. I have told you before you are an inspiration to so many of us. You, and Amanda are in my prayers.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17994753291659176298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966627327636758510.post-69408915229743716702012-03-05T18:14:33.128-08:002012-03-05T18:14:33.128-08:00Hi Betty,Thank goodness for memories...I love this...Hi Betty,Thank goodness for memories...I love this post and as usual you display some beautiful things.<br />Blessings to you and I hope your move goes very smoothly when the time is right.

They are good ones, but not what I want . I want them to have a farm with lots of land and places to explore. To live right by thier Grandparents and cousins. But alas, life is what it is and that can't be changed.<br />Hopefully all goes well with the decision you have made to sell. Good luck. -Steph-frontporchprimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815092182786250888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966627327636758510.post-53921352344789635062012-03-05T16:50:13.059-08:002012-03-05T16:50:13.059-08:00Wonderful post!

I feel like I know your Aunt Cleona and I know I would have loved her too! <br /><br />I had to laugh at you talking about you and your cousin laughing at all the ugly people on the wall! I like to remember my times at my grandmother's house on the lake. My grandad had a bait business so it was a neat place to go. But one thing that we did when we spent the night.....we took the pictures down at night in the room where we slept because we felt like the eyes followed us everywhere we went! lol! <br /><br />I know the decision to move wasn't an easy one. But you have your priorities straight. Family is the most important so no matter where you are, you will be fine! It's just thee next chapter in your life. And it will bea new adventure - just think of the fun decorating you will have! :)<br /><br />Enjoyed our phone conversation and I appreciate all your help!<br /><br />And I am praying for Amanda. Will do so specifically on Weds!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />TammyTammy ~ Country Girl at Home ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15357964198971943168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7966627327636758510.post-1969903497622789832012-03-04T18:53:10.178-08:002012-03-04T18:53:10.178-08:00Hi Betty,
