I'm so sorry for your loss. Cancer can be a very hard thing to deal with. My brother-in-law has it now.

"we miss our sweet singer"
isn't that enough to make you weep...

Rich and I grew much closer as we got older. We told jokes, watched movies and listened to music together. He was one of the most interesting people I ever met. And he cared about his family and friends. He was a dreamer and a fighter. I am thankful that he married Hollie, because now I have another cousin. But no one could replace Richie, ever. I hold him very near and dear to my heart and will spend my lifetime making sure that he is remembered. He deserves that much. I miss him so much...

He lives so strong in our memory and I know it will not fade. God makes us all so unique that there is no chance of memories being confused with others. I will spend more time in eternity with him to make up for any missed time. We were so blessed by the time He was given to us--I liked the way He always approached me--I hope he felt the same--A loving Uncle

I didn't get to know Richie that well, but when I did it was as family and I felt at home. I know that Scott thinks a lot about his cousin and our thoughts and prayers are with Ron and Kay.
He's being missed,but I'm glad I got to know him as much as I did.

its hard not to see him anymore, knowind that you saw him from a litle baby, to a adult graduating from 8th grade. we hung out together, got are teah cleaned together. it really hit me hard when i got to talk to him, knowing that it spread a little sunshine,or little joy in his life. it just make you want to spend time with family more, because you never know when you are not going to see them again. its the little things that remind you of him. he was a husband, friend, and a great singer. may you rest, and you will awake in heaven soon, we will again catch up on old times, new times, memories.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
