Final Day with my sisters celebrating Mom.

Day five started out with a 2.5 hour walk for Shari and I. We got up before everyone else and headed for the hills. It was so beautiful. WHY do I not live there??? Back at the house we had a huge brunch together with Andrew and Larry. The two guys had been baned from their home for five days, and were happy to come home!! We packed up and hit a couple of refreshing sights. In the picture Shari is reading the 'prayer wheel" that sits in a beautiful spot that I just love to go. It's hard to see, but in the middle picture, Andrew is playing his bagpipes on the rocks for us, as we sail away on the ferry.

We hit the little shops in Winslow....bought surprises for the kids....and of course we all stopped at Mora for the best ice-cream ever!! Before we knew it, Shari was dropping us off at the airport and it was all over. The five days flew by. It was amazing, all the thought and planning that Shari put into this week for us. I miss my Mom dearly, and this week truly was full of happy memories and really fun times. All revolving around our Mom. I am so blessed to have these gals for my sisters and my friends. Only with them can I dance to ABBA in public, in a ridiculous outfit. Only with them can I laugh so hard it hurts. Only with them can I share my most sacred and treasured experiences shared with our Mom during her life and after her death. I love you all, my sistas!!! (Kim, too.)
"Thank you for the Music!!"
