June 22, 2026. Yesterday was Carsons birthday! He is 15 years old!!! I’m so blessed to have enjoyed the companionship of this sweet little creature for 15 years. I don’t take a single DAY for granted…every day (and moment) is so precious. Know what, honey? That’s how I see you (and us)…and how I will live out my days if we’re so blessed to be one. You know that I’ll take great care of big Puppy, too – perhaps we’ll live to be 90+ years old?! Oh the things we’ll do and the fun we’ll have.

I’ve got an idea. Let’s pretend that we’re in our late 30’s or early 40’s and just plan to live longer?!! What say you? Why not, right? This picture displays what personal “legacy” looks like perfectly! You’ve already accomplished elite level professional “legacy”…and the creation of sweet #3. NOW – are you ready for what’s next? So exciting. Holding this baby boy close is what “walking in fields of gold” feels like.

Of course, I’ve shared this song many times but it never grows old. So very special – especially the late great Eva Cassidy’s version. Deeply spiritual for those that have the heart to feel it.
Quick note – As you’ve likely seen, I deleted all the images that included you in your father’s day post. Clearly, for obvious reasons.
I hope you’re okay and enjoying this sunny day. I’m about to go water plants then back in to work on a few personal loose ends. The electrician came yesterday and knocked out everything but 3 small items on the list. All lighting fixtures are now hung and the wiring for the 3 new fireplaces (and new den) have been connected to the main breaker box. It was so fun seeing the electronic fireplaces come on yesterday! Long time coming. He will return later this week to do the lighting under the kitchen cabinets plus a couple other small things. WE’RE CLOSE NOW, Puppy!
Stay safe and feel my love…it’s always with you. I love you so much, honey! xo
