March is the beginning of springtime, which brings signs of new life.
We experienced something new when Buddy the dog came to be with our family 20 years ago this month.
He stayed several times at 1036.
It was interesting to watch him adjust to 1036 with wooden floors. Just as he did at his home, he would take a cookie given to him in the kitchen and go with it into the living room and toss the cookie up into the air. It was different for him to hear it fall with a thud on the wooden floor, versus a quieter landing on the carpet at his home.
He also really liked jumping up into the brown chairs in the living room, particularly the one that swivels, which I still have with me.
At a certain point, he got in the custom of hopping up on my bed as I went to sleep and spent the night on my bed, which led Mom to remark that he was "king of the castle" when she came into my room and saw him on my bed.
He may have passed on from us, but wonderful memories of him persist deep in our hearts.
And you, too, 1036 shall not fade into the background for you and wonderful memories of you remain deep in my heart as that dearly beloved place.
We shall remain ever connected:
All my relations.
God's blessings,
With joy, gladness, and gratitude,
Paul
