Kelly'e ex was extradited, Grandkids today, Twin off to a fire in Alaska.

This week Kelly's ex-husband was charge with Deliberate Homicide and extradited from Nevada to here. She was strangled to death.  They are saying she did get out a 911 call, that her phone drop, so they had no real idea where to go to help her. Cell phone service is hit and miss in our little valley. Her memorial service will be held this Saturday for her family and friends to say their good byes.  They at least have the assurance that he is in jail and their daughter is in the arms of God and safe there with the Lord. She was a vibrant and loving member of our community and will be greatly missed. She was a loved assistant school teacher for the local English teacher, she helped with the games at the school. She spent many a year at the local thrift store, the Woman In Timber, her dedication to it helped many people in this community. She had two children she loved dearly. She had just purchased new property and was building up her own place to share her love with her friends and family. She was one of God's lovely spirits and will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her. Good Bye Kelly godspeed.

Poppie went down to pick up the kids at Bug's house, we will have them during the days the rest of the week, unless it rains, and then Bug won't work, can't dig in the rain. The kids should all have a great day it looks like it may not rain, which would be nice. They can play outside and from the bickering that the two Ladies did yesterday they really need some time to run and burn off their energy. The pool can't go up until it stops raining either.

Twin left for Alaska on a plane a few minutes ago.  She will be fighting wild fires, she does so enjoy the process, she has become a bit of a traveler in the last few years. She goes on wild fires, where ever they send her. She goes, usually to Baja in the winters to camp on the sea of Cortez from decemberish to February.  Her husband has turned her into, her term, a fun hog.  She is an EMT and EMT instructor in her town, she does fine work and is a very giving part of her community.  I am proud to say she is my friend. Our lives used to be so similar and now so different, she is enjoying her adulthood with grown kids and I am back to being, her terms, a soccer mom.  Both are happy as clams in our choices in life, and try to spend time together, but more than any other time in our lives we are on different time lines and different needs for our lives.  We currently connect in our upcycling and watching our grand kids grow.  Sharing the details of what our grandkids do takes us back to when our children were little and we were just friends raising our babies.

Off to make pancakes or waffles and eggs, I have 5 little ones that will be hungry soon, and I am sure 2 more little people will be over to have some as well................ tomorrow.
