Its a good thing, he's so stinkin cute!

Grandpa

My Grandpa passed away. Everything happened so fast. It seems like just a few days ago the Drs found a lump on his lungs...and were testing it to see if it was cancerous. What happened? All of a sudden he's gone. Even though his 88 years here were happy and full, and even though I know that He's in SUCH a better place, know that he's home, I still will miss him so terriibly. I will see him in every belt buckle I see, in every cowboy boot, in every silly piece of candy. I will hear him every time I walk in to my Grandmas house say "Hi my doll baby, there's my favorite girl (next to your Mother, of course)", I will see him through my Grandmas eyes when she thinks of him or tells stories of him. I will see him in the love of our family. The strength of our family. He leaves behind a strong legacy. Of friendship. Of faith. Of love. Of marriage. It is because of him we are who we are. My Grandpa was a great man. I celebrate his life, but i sure grieve the hole he's left behind.

Garden

Our Garden. Yep, we're gonna give it a shot. All the makings for salsa: tomotoes, jalepenos, cilantro. Green beans, zucchini, and basil. Starting small, if a success, then we've got plenty of room to grow next year. Just thinking of our very own Gafner salsa makes my mouth water....mmm...
