Over the years we have seen less of my niece Sara and her two daughters. We don’t get to Indiana much since my sister Jean passed away and Sara has not ventured down to our place much either. So, it was a treat getting to know them all a little better.
We live very different lives and at one point LIly announced that she thought I was odd, I didn’t deny that but did ask for some clarification. We concluded that she had never met anyone quite like me, at which point, I said I could live with that definition. I’ve always maintained that in order to live here one must, at the very least, be eccentric. Odd is perhaps more extreme and I’m proud to claim that label.

We did get over to Josh Copus’s pottery and made a photograph under the weeping willow tree. This was about a week before half of the tree came down in a storm, which makes the photograph more than just a simple memory,
