I still have a black indian beaded necklace Aunt Mary gave me when I was about 5 years old. I have very fond memories of her Iris garden, our first dog, Freckles a very protective cocker spaniel she raised and then came the pekingese Ming and Fuji. Her smiles and laughter are so clear in my mind. I hope you and Dad are having a blast in your new home.

Psalms 91:14-16 KJV 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
