The Hannah Family

My mom has the most phenomenal friends

Grace came up from FL to visit Bill and Joanne, but the first thing they did was take a day to see Pat and bring her a pile of presents. They had to help open them as mom didn't know what to do. Nonetheless she smiled and laughed, and definitely enjoyed seeing everyone.

I miss you already, Mandy (and our fish died)

Our sweet girl has been having trouble ambulating (advanced arthritis, common for shepherds), seeing, hearing, chewing her skin raw, the list continues, but today she demonstrated it was time to let go. Lap of Love provided a mobile vet who performed compassionate euthanasia in our home, a huge blessing since Mandy isn't able to get in or out of the car anymore. It is hard to lose a family member. I thank God for every day of our 18 years together. My children grew up with Mandy and they are better people for it. She truly has been my best friend for nearly two decades. I love Mandy and fully expect to scoop up her rejuvenated self at the Rainbow Bridge.

Meet the Teacher today

Dave's 6th grade science teacher taught all four kids, and his language arts teacher taught both of our girls as well. I've subbed for his math teacher, Claire also had his social studies teacher. They're going to take good care of him.

Not sure that I will get to use it

But I finished the course with a 97% so that was good.

The solar eclipse is awesome!

And three butterflies landed on me in the butterfly pavilion. It's a great day. (Zoom in on the second - or any photo - if you can't see.)
