This month had brought a lot of sadness for us. My Grandpa died on the first Wednesday of the month. I went through a lot of emotions and many tears. The funeral was the following Tuesday, it was a great service. It was nice to hear stories about Grandpa. The music tugged at my heart strings and made the tears come. After such an emotional week I was ready to relax, and get back to normal.
Unfortunately that was not to happen. The day after my Grandpa's funeral, which also happened to be a Wednesday, Adam received a phone call from his mother. His sweet Grandma had passed away, just a week after my Grandpa. So instead of things going back to normal, the tears returned. The funeral was on Monday, it was also a wonderful service. They had the great grandchildren sing I am a Child of God at the graveside service and release white balloons, it was cute and sweet.
We have made it through the past 2 weeks, and are now trying to return to a normal routine. Even though the past 2 weeks stood still for us emotionally, everything else kept moving. We will now have to find our new normal routine.
Grandpa
Last night we had to say goodbye to Grandpa Collins. When you lose someone it's amazing the things that you feel, don't feel, and the things you think about. I'm not one that cries a lot, I cried last night when I got the phone call. I know that my Grandpa loves me, and he loves his whole family.
I will miss his sense of humor, and hearing him call me by my nickname. When I close my eyes I can see him in the kitchen for our birthdays sitting at the end of the table talking. His mind was amazing and always going, he loved fixing things, and was great at it. Grandpa had an amazing green thumb, he made taking care of plants look easy. He would always bring us extra tomatoes from his garden. He always brought our dogs a treat when he came to visit. The dogs knew when he was coming and would meet him at the door, just like little kids.
I love my Grandpa Collins, and I am so thankful that I am blessed to have him as my Grandpa. Even though he is no longer with us, I know that one day we will all be together as a family.
Ice Cream
Emilee and I went for a walk this morning. I wish we had left a little earlier, by the time we left it was already hot. When we got back we decided to relax and make ice cream. I should say that Emilee made ice cream, we found this tutorial for Ice Cream in a bag and decided to try. Emilee enjoyed eating her ice cream, and was kind enough to share with me. We will be making this again throughout the summer. To answer your question, Yes even a Princess will work for Ice Cream.
