Adelina turned 5 on the 24th of June, but since she and her family were leaving for Thailand on the 19th, she and I decided to celebrate a little early.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is amazing! So smart, so beautiful, so silly.</div>

<br />
Well the countdown has begun. My son, daughter in law (daughter) and my two little Grand Kiddles are flying to Chiang Mai, Thailand next Sunday. Each with two new jobs and new schools. They are excited for their new life, their journey. <br />
<br />
I am so very happy for them all and I know this is what they need to do. Thailand calls to them as they taught English 7 years ago there and have been trying to get back ever since.<br />
<br />
My husband and I both are also starting a new life, new journey. We are hoping to travel more and can't wait for our Thailand visit in December. Our life will consist of a lot of Skype and FaceTime.<br />
<br />
My heart has been heavy for many weeks now. Trying to prepare myself for not being as "needed" as I have been in the past 5 years.<br />
<br />
My Granddaughter Adelina gave me a beautiful star the other day telling me "it's for you Nee Nee because you don't cry about Thailand"...well not when she sees me anyway.<br />

Our next 6 days will be filled with pool parties in AZ with family and friends. And with lots of hugs, kisses and "hold me's". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thailand, please treat them well. Keep them safe. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We only have few more months before the kids make their new life in Thailand, so we try to get in every moment possible.<br />
<br />
Our Grandson seems to be a natural ;o) at sports (he'll be 2 years old next month). I know, I know Grandparents as well as parents think that of all their children, lol.<br />

Yard/Garage, whatever, have never been a favorite event to have ever since I can remember. Growing up in a "weekend Swap Meet" lifestyle family makes me dread just the words garage sale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last Saturday "the kids" (my nickname for my son, Alec and DIL Christine), held a garage sale to move out stuff they have aquirred over the years. They are cleaning out for their upcoming move to Thailand in June...yes, I typed Thailand...with our Grandchildren in tow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My heart is heavy, but I know it's their life and their adventure, so with that I only wish the very, very best for my kids as I always do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What an adventure!</div>

They decided to scatter Mom and Dad together on the shore of a beach as Mom Sally once requested. We celebrated a bit the night before at Lucci's Italian Deli for dinner. Great pasta!</div>

The weather has turned cold here in Henderson taking what little humidity we have from the air making my hands weathered but content to have been creative.<br />
<br />
I have 10 containers of grunge dolls and grunge ornies (not bad for having only 2 1/2 weeks notice) hoping to fit in my car along with framed screens Sam made for me to hang my dolls. My good friend Sandi is providing tables and an ezUp for my space and will be there to help me.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I hope to see a lot of my (missed) So Cal friends this weekend. <br />
Looks like the weather will be nice.<br />
I will keep you posted on the turn out. <br />
Wish me luck!<br />

We have had a lot going on this summer, so I thought I would try to break it all down every couple of days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back in May (May 11-13th to be exact), my Dad decided to make a drive out from Arizona to stay with Sam and I for a couple of days. First time EVER did I have my Dad stay the night alone in our house. It was a nice surprise. My parents would have been married 58 years on May 12th and he didn't want to spend it alone at his house.</div>

He and I had lunch at The M just down the hill from me. I had shown him how to play the Willy Wonka slot machine (he's a Blackjack kinda guy). I told him it was one of my sister's favorites when she comes to visit. </div>

He said it was kinda "boring"...until he hit the Oompa Loompas and his chair began to shake, sugar sacks began to fall and he won about $200.00.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it was off to the Blackjack tables.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has never been an easy man or one of those "Leave it to Beaver's" Ward kinda Dad to grow up with. In fact, most of my life he and I butted heads.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's trying to become a better Dad since my Mom passed away back in 2012. It's been a long journey for him, but he's trying and I appreciate it. </div>

Our good friends, Rob and Sandi were celebrating their 39th wedding anniversary on May 1st. Their daughter Adrienne (our flower girl back in 1982) called a few weeks back and asked if we would come out to Riverside, CA and stay with them to help surprise her parents. She was planning a "surprise" planting party on Sunday to plant 503 plants and 2 large trees on their front slope and had invited friends and family.</div>

So last Friday we decided to make the drive to Logandale. Easy drive from Henderson.<br />

First stop was a fishing event called "Catch n' Release". I have never seen this at a fair, but what a great idea. They had a huge tank filled with trout. Kids under 12 were allowed to "fish" for 10 minutes in hopes of hooking a fish. Adelina's line attracted so many fish, but we couldn't keep any hooked. The little girl next to us did and Adelina was so excited for her.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We little knew that morning,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
God was going to call your name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In life we loved you dearly,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In death we do the same.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It broke our hearts to lose you,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The day God called you home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You left us beautiful memories,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your love is still our guide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And though we cannot see you,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are always by our side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our family chain is broken,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And nothing feels the same.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But as God calls us one by one,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The chain will link again.</div>
