I’m beyond thrilled my parents will meet their great-grandkids. After 2 1/2 years there will be lots of joy around THE Family Table when our Air Force men, their wives, and precious babies gather together. My home is here. And although they were both raised in Missouri, they have established their own homes with their families, and that’s what home is~family. It’s not a place. It’s the people. Family is everything. ❤️

Oh, the joy to see a highchair!
Mom’s rocker, sons’ blankets, and a pup
Table made by my Uncle O.J. when the boys were small.
Books for Grammy K and grandkids…and a pup.

Have faith 💚

    1. Ashok, I’m so happy to see them all. My youngest son, daughter-in-law, and grandgirl will fly in 7 days. Missouri has brightened. Thank you for your support always. 🤗💚

  3. What a sweet and welcoming place to gather. It looks like you’ve settled in nicely. Your words are filled with tenderness and love, which is as it should be where our families are concerned.

    1. Thank you, Kathy, for your precious words. The last 5 months of making a new home seems the most gratifying knowing family will visit. Small space overtaken with great love is perfect. You are always so kind and thoughtful in your words. I hope you and Paul are well. 🤍🤗❤️🙏🏻

  4. Opening your house and your heart to your family and the world is an exceptional invitation
    dear Karla. Being unique like you are, means all anyone sees is fascinating and your home
    is absolutely charming!
    Enjoy a peaceful day my friend, Eddie

    1. Eddie, how kind and thoughtful! When I made “home”, I wanted my full self to show in all that is around me. Thank you for the compliments. The RV wasn’t a lot to decorate. And being able to host friends and family has been a long time coming again. It used to be a highlight of my life. I’ll cherish every opportunity! I always appreciate your support and kindness. Peace and blessings to you! 🙏🏻🤍

    1. Dawn, thank you so very much! It has been such unbelievable joy 🤩 Oma, how precious! I’m still unpacking my friend! ❤️💕💜💙🤗

  6. Oh how your words reach right into my heart Karla. I’m never so happy as when the house is full of children and grandchildren! I’m so overjoyed for you, soak up every second, you have such a lovely heart, your children are blessed to have you! Warmly, C

  7. Karla, may you continue to experience and enjoy these family-filled moments. I am headed to Montana soon, and there will be immense joy in seeing family again.
