Smile

 I miss your smile
You always had a happy with the world smile

Your favorite Greek fisherman's cap, the Burrito Works Taco restaurant in St Augustine that we always ate at, and your cat eye glasses.

Toothless

Found a good home for Toothless the Dragon.
You thought it looked a little like Stripe and sometimes you called her Toothless.

She will be Sharon and Dave's copilot, may she watch over them.

Sunrise & Rainbow

 I took to pictures on my morning walk, to the east at 6:20 to catch the sunrise, to the west at 6:28 to see a full  rainbow. I took 2, you would have taken ten to twenty. There is a big hole in my heart and life.

I miss you every day.

Rocket Launch

Out for my morning walk and I saw the trail of a Falcon 9 rocket launch at 6:13.

I knew there was supposed to be a launch but I had forgotten about it.

It is pretty cool to just go outside and see one go off. 

Pocket Watch

 From Jeni:

In jewelry box or dresser

Grandma Nina Miller Connor graduation watch

Chain with a knife

Jim Stroup won the chain and knife at a Spring Valley and give it to his grandpa Thomas Sheldon Connor

Fo Alyssa so that she will know the history of the watch and knife

Grandpa always wore the watch to church and sat in the front row

Had candies in his pockets so that all the kids sat with him to get candy

Hats, lots of hats

 

Purse and a Woodstock for Shery.

Violets

 You got these four violets some time ago, made hangers with bowls so that you could hang them in the dining room window.

For the first time, one of them is blooming.

Reflections

 Sitting on the bench watching the river go by.
Just sitting and thinking about you.
Trying to focus on happy memories of the things we did and the places we visited.

Violets

This is the first time your violets have bloomed, sorry you were not able to see it.
You had these for a while.

 

Take the trips

Take the trips.

Short trips, long trips,

24 hour trips, food trips, anything 

that consists of traveling and new experiences.

Jeni called them Adventures
