Bio
My wife of 47+ years died at home with me at her side, on November 12, 2010. She and I, together with our children and many friends and relatives, fought her cancer for four years, seven months and a week. This blog acknowledges her courage and exemplary life. She taught us how to live, and she taught us how to die. The blog also honors the love she shared with everyone who knew her.I am a retired school counselor and college professor.

Old folks and old dogs..

Rated for odd grace.
Barney Google....He looks like such a nice fellow!
Captured well, this warm family face of solid gold.
I see a man with sweet smile and maybe likes his sweets too! Rated with a Jali smile of course. :-)
There's more gold to be found in people, than riverbeds!

Old folks and old dogs indeed, Seer. And grace.
Zanelle, he was unique in all the world.
You're right, scupper, under all the gruffness was heart of gold.
The picture captures who he was, Jali, indeed there was sweet tooth there. He would be so pleased with all this attention.
More than gold in river beds, Barney found beaver, and mink and otters and turned them into gold.
Ah, he smiles in this one! Much more comfortable here ... and out of the suit!

This photo makes me smile for different reasons to the last.

He strikes me as a very down to earth kind of man, John.
Very much so, Kate, very down to earth.
