I sure appreciate the quiet moments that I have in my life. When you work all day in a busy office with phones ringing, copy machines copying, fax machines beeping, quiet time is hard to come by. Besides this we have 2 way radios for recess and other times we need to contact custodians or other personel within the building so we don't have to use the loud speaker to find someone. We are the ice pack and bandaid (with a little sympathy thrown in) central and most every day have a bloody nose or two also. It is a busy place to work and you have to be able to tune alot of it out just to get your work done.
But when I come in the kitchen door, quiet greets me! (Unless Randy is home, who hasn't talked to anyone all day) Even so, our home seems like a sanctuary. A safe place. A comfortable place to be. It is our home and there is no place like home. Really!
Jeremy and Molly, Rich and Debbie, Sarah and Riley, all have nice homes. They feel like home when we visit. I know they work hard at making their houses a "home" for their children. You all have so much more than your dad and I had when we were young parents. I am very proud of you and the good parents that you are. I am aware that you don't have a lot of quiet in your lives either. I hope you appeciate this time. It goes along quickly.
Now I have quiet, but miss the pitter patter of little feet. Christmas was fun! (I still have'nt taken down the tree) Maybe we will put valentines on it! Ha ! I love you all and am thankful for your love!

I feel the same way every time we come to visit. The mintue I walk in your house I feel like I'm in a safe, warm, place. You have always been good at making your home feel cozy and full of love. It's no wonder we all love coming home so much and the grandkids never want to leave!
Well, we are happy to send grandkids your way anytime you want to liven things up a bit. Ha!
I love being in your home. And I'm so glad you are comfortable in ours. Just wish the two were closer together.
How can you not feel safe with all our guns? (ha) I know all of us appreciate what you and dad do or have done for us. It's sad to think that so many kids today don't have that sanctuary/protection of a nice home with loving parents. I am sure glad I did!
btw - Les has started our remodel of the kitchen/living room. I'll post some pics later.
Love you mom!
