My photo
No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

A wonderful day seeing friends!

After church today, I had a chance to take a few photos, or rather, let Terri use the camera and she snapped away! Here are Carol, Laurie, Mark, and Dawn. Carol is holding one of the lovely Mexican sunflowers which are blooming along the building. Laurie's kids took great pleasure in pulling the 15' tall plants over to pick the flowers for their mom and Grandma!

Here is am, posing with Mark and Dawn, long time members now living in the outskirts of Milwaukee.

Kelly is the daughter of Mark and Dawn, and a daughter of our congregation. She was a teacher in the preschool when Timmy was a student there. When Kelly went to Martin Luther College, she kept a photo of Timmy tucked in her mirror, telling me he was her inspiration to be a teacher. When he died, Kelly wrote me a letter, and said she was naming her first son after Timmy. And she did! Her son, Alexander Timothy, is standing in front of me with his brother, Aaron. Kelly's husband, Paul, is on the right side. They are off to Disney as part of the Make a Wish Foundation's treat for them, because of Alex's disability. Kelly's next son is due in February---My Three Sons!
