Appreciation/Encouragement

Appreciation can make a day - even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary. -- Margaret Cousins

When you have an appreciative attitude, even the smallest things make you smile.

A dear Grandmother


A very special lady this one was.  A more kind soul you could never have met.  I honestly never heard her speak an unkind word of anyone. I wish I were more like her.  I have always loved these photos.  I recall the photographer just leaned in an 'snapped' the picture.   We miss you.

Thank you

Thank you to each of you who shared with us this week.  In  the sadness of my Father-In-Law's passing as well as the happiness of our 22nd Wedding Anniversary.  Thank you for the many cards, flowers, visists and food supplied.  It is wonderful to visit with friends and family, sometimes the timing isn't what we would have liked but life happens.

Bride or Groom's Side?

"With joy and in love I take you to be my wife/husband, to be the mother/father of my children and the companion of my days.  I promise to share with you in whatever happiness or sadness, abundance or want, adversity or blessing that may be a part of our lives.  I intend that our lives should be woven together into a single tapestry of love and mutual conern for as long as we both remain alive. 

I give you this ring as a sign and pledge of my unending love, and loyalty. 
May it constantly remind you of my commitment to you this day". 

Happy 22nd Anniversary. 
With you, I would do it all again. Thank you for being the man that you are. A man that loves his family and continues to support them in whatever they set their minds to achieve.
