Bees, Beas, Everywhere!

This is a blog for bee lovers...well, one Bea in particular. We all miss her, this we know, and we all go through times of heartache and loneliness when thinking about her. This is a forum for memories, both happy and sad. It is my hope that, in the times when you miss her the most, you can turn to this blog to laugh, cry and reminisce...I know that I will.

I will begin with one of my favorite memories. I left home for college in August of 2000. This was a difficult transition for the family because it was the first time that Brandon was the lone wolfling of the family. Kevin and I decided to ease this transition by driving home for Brandon's birthday to surprise him. We drove through the night and pulled into Nanny's apartment building at some awful hour of the night. She didn't know we were coming. "Knock, knock, knock"...."Knock, Knock, Knock"...we started thinking that we would have to sleep in our car, as we were NOT going to ruin the surprise by going home too early. About ten minutes later we saw the safety pin unlatch from the drapes on her front window and there she was, eyes as big as the sky! Although we were there to surprise Brandon, and we did that, too, Ill never forget the surprise on her face when she opened that door. I, for one, know that there was NO BETTER PLACE TO BE than Nanny's "house".
