10th Anniversary of September 11, 2001

This afternoon we had an opportunity to thank our local first responders.  It was a great community event.  I'm grateful our family could attend and participate in the ceremony. 

 

A day to never forget ☼

Memories

Squeakers the gerbil was the class pet for Daniel's 4th grade class.  At the end of the school year, Ms. Yslas' asked if our family would adopt him.  We gladly welcomed him into our home.  It was a wonderful experience.  He taught us many lessons about love, kindness, gentleness, and responsibility.  We are grateful he was our children's first pet.

Squeakers passed away at home on Monday, September 5, 2011.  He had been ill.  He was laid to rest during a lovely sunset.  He will be missed.  

Thanks for the memories Squeakers!
