Teamwork

It is such a simple concept.
But yet, when two or more must join together in a common goal, it requires the deepest of skills. Faith, openness, compromise, vision, tolerance, flexibility, trust.
Our gerbils model this behavior every time their sky opens and a paper tube is dropped in from the heavens above. They lose no time in their quest to immediately begin to chew their tube. They each begin at an end and "chew, chew, chew" until they meet in the middle and their entire tube is gone; shredded into a million bits. Five minutes later, they dust off their little paws, feeling satisfied that they have completed thier mission (and a job well done, indeed). They then retreat to their hide-a-house, pile on top of each other and settle in for a well deserved nap.
We could learn a lot from gerbils.

Bird Haven

Mary Alice, driven by her inner artist, created this beautiful bird house for the lucky birds in our garden, with the help of Daddy, who cut and drilled wherever she said and drove her to get the perfect materials to realize her vision.

Hoppy Easter!

A Great Guy!

Happy 94th Birthday to my stepfather Guy, who has made an indelible stamp on my life. We are grateful for each year with him and are so pleased that he enjoys good health and mind. Thanks to my mom, Judy, for taking such good care of him, always.
