Happy birthday to you!

Mom's everywhere

The month after Mom passed, Bob, Jessie and I drove down to visit Chip in Louisiana for the 1st time, which was in our plans.

It was a difficult trip for me. And when we, with Chip, were on Highway 10, I saw this sign. I took it as a good sign.

So, when we drove that stretch on our trip here now, I had to get a picture.

All dogs go to heaven

Gerry & Debbie's faithful dog, Hunter, passed away yesterday with lymphoma. Here he is at Dad's feet in our parents' Beech Avenue home in Brooklyn. The upper photo is Hunter fishing for rocks in Lake Erie at Kelley's Island with Craig.

The Creation
When God had made the earth and sky the flowers and the trees, He then made all the animals the fish, the birds and bees. And when at last He'd finished not one was quite the same. He said, "I'll walk this world of mine and give each one a name." And so He traveled far and wide and everywhere He went, a little creature followed Him until it's strength was spent. When all were named upon the earth and in the sky and sea, the little creature said, "Dear Lord, there's not one left for me." Kindly the Father said to him, "I've left you to the end. I've turned my own name back to front and called you dog, My friend."

Hunter, rest in peace. Mom & Dad, love him up for us, ok?
