we remember

In the rising of the sun
and in its going down: - we remember them.

In the blowing of the wind
and in the chill of winter: - we remember them.

In the opening of buds
and in the warmth of summer: - we remember them.

In the rustling of the leaves
and the beauty of autumn: - we remember them

In the beginning of the year
and when it ends: - we remember them.

For we are weary
and in need of strength: - we remember them.

When we are lost
and sick at heart: - we remember them.

When we have joys we
yearn to share: - we remember them.

So long as we live ............They too shall live.

For they are now a part of us: - we remember them.

Watching basketball in Spokane

Lisa, Justin, Michala, Mr. Smokey, Dr. Einstein and I drove out to meet with Henry and family last Friday. This was Henry's show, because his tournament was the reason. Really enjoyed watching Henry or Prince Henry as he is known on the west coast gracefully, energetically and athletically play basketball. And luckily it's true that if you can't sit on a beach somewhere, a basketball or baseball game can get you caught up with Jeane and Tim, too. Can't mention grace and energy without thanking Grace and Sealy for taking time out from dancing, swimming and reading to get some cousin time. I even found time to sit on a solitary bench to view the river, the budding trees and the birds and also dream and reminisce.

Happy Birthday Susan!!
