The balloon idea is lovely. I'm going to light two special candles on the Christmas table this year for them (they loved a good get together at Christmas!) And as for the dogs and other animals...well, I don't know where to start...William smiling into the wind is just great. I have a similar one I'll post of our Parsons Russell smiling back!<br />Best wishes, Claire Mad Maisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576500176792444769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-68484916522572809172012-12-02T12:16:05.839+00:002012-12-02T12:16:05.839+00:00'Annual pine tree bunfight'....ha ha, I ca...'Annual pine tree bunfight'....ha ha, I can just imagine!<br />Memories are everything.xBetween Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-4443913679717014572012-12-02T09:33:49.637+00:002012-12-02T09:33:49.637+00:00yes my Dad used to say that, along with "your...yes my Dad used to say that, along with "your health is the most precious thing you could own" and we would roll our eyes, but both proved to be true.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-45312799651958170822012-12-02T00:09:17.047+00:002012-12-02T00:09:17.047+00:00Scary indeed.
