Took this picture of Bentley yesterday and love how handsome he looks! He's turning into a good boy . . . slowly but surely; very slowly . . . but surely.

What a treat to have Julie and the grandkids (Ian and Jack) here for a visit for a few days. The weather has been up and down these last few weeks, but fortunately we had a perfect day for Sea World. The Shamu show was a highlight, and so was the Journey to Atlantis roller coaster/water slide ride. The Penquin Encounter made for some good "Artic" pics. We played cards and dominoes and generally just had a good time the rest of the visit. Time goes by fast, but we're so glad they came.

 


I'm still reeling from the news of Monday, February 27, 2012. My beautiful, serene, wholesome little town of Chardon, Ohio has forever changed. My alma mater, Chardon High School, the scene of such horrific tragedy will never be quite the same for all of us who had attended and will attend in the future. My thoughts and prayers go out for the victims and their families, and for all the residents of Chardon.

One thing I know for sure. The people of Chardon have strong roots; the town will recover and continue to be a model for what is good and valued in America.
