Missing My Little Honey Bee

I really miss my little Honey Bee. Every day we had with her was such a blessing, and I know that God gave her specially to me, but it is so hard to get used to being without her. I feel okay for a little bit in the afternoons (since she was usually sleeping then), but the mornings and evenings are so lonely. She was always frenzying around me, or bringing her little mousies to me as presents. And she was always in the bathroom wanting to drink in the shower or just have a frenzy.

Elizabeth did a really sweet thing the other day and made a little felt Beatrice-y for me --- and she is even holding one of her green mousies. I bawled for ages when she gave it to me, but it's so perfect.

The two of us went out and put some flowers over Little Bee's spot and put a little metal bumble bee on it. She was such a special kitty. Samwise is missing her --- particularly in the late afternoon, when they would play together. He walks through the hallway calling her and then comes down to the living room all lonesome, so I'm trying to give him some extra attention.

It has been really cool here, and we're still having quite a bit of rain. We have managed to finish our salsa (unless we decide to do a little more to get ahead on next year!), and tomorrow we are working on canning tomatoes. It is also time this week to pick up the dolls from the State Fair. Not bad! So, I will have to post more later. I've got all kinds of flower pictures, but with little Beatrice, I'm just all behind in e-mails, posting and the like. God certainly blessed me with a wonderful baby for eight and a half years. She was so good. More later.
