It was a beautiful weekend at the lake, bright sun, not too hot, perfect. We were helping Sam a lot, bringing her water and food, helping her outside with a beach towel looped under her belly and us holding up the ends so she could get out those two steps to the yard. None of […]
Love and Peace to you, Old Friend. Beautiful Sam. The whole family was better with you in it. We were lucky and we know it. Thanks for being ours. Love, Mom and Dad and Everybody
We were all down at the lake, kids galore swimming, and even though Sam has become very arthritic in the last year, I knew she’d love this, so I went and got her. It was a long walk for her, even though it’s not that far. She’s started on pain medication for her joints a

Oh yeah, that classic old family game. John threw this beer can out, then challenged t.c. to a race to get to it. The child swims fast, especially if there is a contest involved. This challenge inspired some very determined swimming. This is the little cutie who jumped in and tried to swim after her

Here they are, trying to lure a sunfish into their basket. When Sam does actually catch a fish, she just rolls it around in her mouth for a minute and spits it out again, no harm done. These two girls were pretty happy to see each other. And my parents came to the lake too.
Today! When it was time to get ready, I noticed p.j. had dumped out her entire bag, as she tends to do most days. Except SAM had flopped down all over the child’s clothing. Why? Sam wouldn’t say. We parked the car over at Kirsten’s and walked down the block to the pool. The pool
