As you know we have been occupied with the saying of goodbye to our great-great-nephew this weekend.
Today we laid him to rest.

Today's postings are delayed due to the time we took today to be with our family. Especially our great-nephew and his wife in this time of their grief at the loss of their infant son.

Today this blog is just fluff and fill - no real substance ... basically a lot of pictures.
Tomorrow we will be back on our regular schedule.
