My Favorite Earthly Possession

[dukedogsmom]

The things I have between my ears.

Somedays I stop and think about all the events, places and people that I have known in my lifetime and feel like I am very lucky.

There are some moments that I have experienced that without the right timing I would have never been able to experience.

------------------------

I used to drive up into the mountains above El Lay to load up the bed of my trick with snow to bring back to the neighborhood.

I would drive to my sibs houses and get the kids in the neighborhood to stage snowball fights in the street.

During one trip I was at a turn off in the mountains when I saw an ominous set of clouds rolling up the mountains toward the area where we were at.

In the matter of minutes, I was stuck in a snow storm and had to drive down the hill to get home.

It was a great experience and something that I cherish more than any physical possession I will ever have.

That is beautiful.

Well without thinking too deeply about it at this hour my first instinct is my iphone. It was a gift from hubby... I already had a phone and he surprised me with an iphone.

I picked ths as my favorite earthly posession because it allOws me to do so much. Hannah gets to video talk with her grammy (who lives in florida) whenever she wants to. When hubby is working late he can video call us to say hello or tell hannah goodnight or even in the middle of the day if we just miss each others face.

I can take photos and video when i dont have my good camera on me

I can take a photo of whatever we are doing and text it to the people who cant be with us like grammy or daddy if he is at work. I can post that photo to facebook so my family in canada can also keep up with what we are doing. This has proved to be invaluable in our family.

We can play games and watch movies (hannah included) read books, create a shopping list, etc, etc, Etc

It Is so many things in one and it helps make the grandparents feel like they arent so far away and it keeps our little family close when we cant be together
