Great Grandpa Moon

Friday, your great Aunt Gyl (my sister) and I went to visit your great grandpa Moon (my dad).
He is one of thee most amazing men I know.

In my lifetime I don't ever remember feeling judged by him, even when I made wrong choices.
He kept me going by believing I could and would do better. He rejoiced in my accomplishments, and remained my true support when I felt there was no one else.

On this trip I thought about you and wished you could of been with us to meet great grandpa Moon, to see the donkeys that live next door and the metal dragon down the road.

Parody (pærədiː)

This weekend it was night out with the boys (Grandpa Willard and Uncle Tyler).
We had a nice meal at Papa Vino's , Bruschetta with Papa Vino's salad.
Then to a movie, which was horribly violent and stupid; and I may add to grandma Jeanne, an
insult. Thus justified as a parody.

As you grow up you will run into a lot of parody's...
some will inspire your mind to think beyond, make you laugh and others will "not".
I wish for you the ones that make you laugh and appreciate the humor of life.

End of Summer

For you time is probably something you don't think alot about. The older I get the faster time seems to pass, which causes me to think about it more then I use to. It seems like it was just a week ago that it was the first day of Summer. Now it is Fall. The golden rod is in full bloom, the cloud formation is changing, almost time to put the kayaks up, and the cooler nights brings Gray Kitty wanting to spend his nights inside. The end of Summer...

New Years Day 2010

This is what New Year's Day looked like here at Grandma Jeanne's house. Very cold
and snow, but it didn't matter to Marley when I walked him this morning...Happy New
Year Penn. I love you.

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

This is the day uncle Tyler left for Norway. It has taken until today,
Saturday that I "think" I can document it without tears welling up in
my eyes...but then maybe not.

This is not the first time I have been overcome with emotion...
the same way I felt when your mother was little and we lived in
different states, the same way I felt when aunt Lise moved away
from home, the day you were born, the day Margot was born...
and lots of other times.

Laughing and crying about the ones I care deeply for.

Filtered Water

When I came to visit you, Margot, your mother and Mr. Daniel, I noticed how your mother
made the choice of saving money by using a water filter system instead of purchasing
bottled water. At the same time she is helping your environment by cutting down the number
of plastic bottles manufactured and filling our landfills, as well thinking of the health factors.
So grandma Jeanne decided to take your mother's example and purchase a water filter
system for all the same reasons AND every time I get a drink of water I also think of
you.

The visit

Leaving for Dallas...
