Awesome Fathers Day gift Booker!
I was up early with my Ferndown, MM965 and the paper out on the patio. It's been a bit of a melancholy day. Our next-door neighbor of 18 years, lost her years-long struggle to cancer yesterday afternoon. She was a brilliant lady and will be missed. She exited with little fanfare and great dignity, something to be admired.
Just as I was feeling gloomy, I noticed that the little wren house in a baking stand on our patio was a buzz with activity. The mother/father have been feeding four babies non-stop for the past two weeks and this morning, they all took flight. That renewal of life made us smile this morning. After the last left, the mother immediately began cleaning out the house, one little bit at a time.
A raised pipe this morning to all the current and past Fathers. My 95 year old father will be over later for a dinner with my brother and his family. One of my two daughters will join us. We'll miss the one in New Orleans.
