Good Bye 2011

A gift from Canada!

Jane & family rolled away today. They left a little part of their family here with us for a couple of months. Chyo, the 6  year old, 9 lb,  Chihuahua will be staying with us while Mom finishing her treatment. He is a great dog & loves Mom.

Thank you Thank you Thank you to the Flint family for letting us borrow this camper!

 This year we decided that Mom needed to stay in her own bedroom while Jane and family visited. We were so fortunate that our good friend THE FLINTS let us borrow their camper so that 3 of the Eskuri clan could stay in the camper. The other 4 Eskuri (1 human and 3 Chihuahua) stayed in the house with us! It worked out well and we were thankful!

Sweet Harper

Today we celebrated Harper's upcoming 16th birthday! Mom made her famous chocolate buttermilk sheet cake!

Today was a crash day for mom but she had enough energy to bake her delicious cake and  enjoy a great steak (gotta keep those red blood cells up) dinner with the family. Tomorrow Jane & crew leave, heading back to Canada. So we tonight savored the meal and our fine company.

Harper's gift to Mom was learning 'the way we were' on the piano. This is Mom's favorite song and Harper plays it so beautifully. I can't remember another gift more precious. When I grow up, I want to be like Harper:)
