after the last......


......game of checkers,
after the bikes were put away,
when the last ball was rolled
for Gus to go chase.....
after
all of the bubble baths
belly laughs
crumbs on the floor
"don't slam the door!"
Spaghetti
ice cream sundaes 
a Dairy Queen run.
pizza
and waffles 
"Grammy, could I have some more?
After school time and snack time
and
"let me fix your hair."
After Dolly was read over and over
I could hear Gus say,
"one more time?"
The Sound of Music
A Dolphin Tale
Trips to the beach
to the playground.
Sweet homemade valentines
hearts on the floor......

Gus and Lucy have gone home.
David and Erika and Harry have returned.
God granted them a safe trip...
It was a great...God ordained week for all of us.
The mercies of the Lord are
unending.
Thank you for keeping watch, O God.

Gus is sitting in my Dad's rocking chair
that is almost 90 years old.
Just one of the treasures he left behind.
