beyond cinderella

I mentioned in an earlier post that my husband, Bill, our daughter, Shantel, and I were going to take my mother out to my brother, Danny, and his wife Bea’s, new home they just had built so we could all see their new home and mom could see her beloved dog Beau, who lives with Danny and Bea and their little dog, Daisy…and Beau’s stuffed froggie girlfriend… 🙂

So, the day began with a trip across the desert from Phoenix to the town of Maricopa:

It was a very rainy day and even the desert floor was soaked,

Once we arrived at Danny and Bea’s house, the first order of business was to get mom out of the car safely…

Then, we entered into Danny & Bea’s beautiful home. Oh my, I’m so happy and proud for them. This is a kitchen to die for:

Danny and Bea are the perfect hosts, making sure everyone had drinks, and everything they needed, to feel welcomed…

While we waited for the delicious lunch to be set out( ham, scalloped potatoes, and green beans, with homemade cake for dessert)… mom and Beau just couldn’t get enough of each other…Beau cried, and cried, and when Beau couldn’t stand it anymore, he jumped right up in mom’s lap… mom was worried he wouldn’t remember her…

After the reunion with mom and Beau….nothing else seemed to matter to mom, but still there was much to see… like Danny and Bea’s little dog , Daisy, who has to hold her cookie treats in her mouth, until Danny goes and sits on their bed with her to eat it so Beau won’t steal it from her …

Even as mom tried to eat her lunch, Beau sat right at her feet:

Thank you Danny and Bea for a lovely lunch and tour of your beautiful new home…

Well done Danny and Bea… Well done.. Congrats on your beautiful new home. It is just beautiful… and mom said to us on the way home… It really has dwindled down to the precious few hasn’t it…? Well, Bro, I guess it has… Love and hugs Bro, love & hugs…

Stayed Tuned!
