Screen saver

I was about to write about my screen saver but decided to see if I'd done it before. I had--over a year and a season ago. So, I decided just to forward that again. It doesn't dwell on all the pictures of Bern and Mimi and Cathy and Josh and I holding the infants, Morgan and Emma. And it is pre-Tim, so he's not in any of them. Five dead creatures--three dogs and two cats are in those photos, as well as photos of Block Island when we used to go there. Wondrous memories. Sometimes, when I come to my computer and those photos are on, I'll watch them for many minutes, remembering,

Favorite pictures

I have a screen saver on my computer of photos from the past. Some of them are from before Josh and Cathy were married. Some are from slightly after their twins were born--but all over a decade old.

Two of my favorite photos of Josh and Mimi are of a visit they made to us along with Cathy (Tim wasn't in our lives yet.)

Mimi is prone on a bed upstairs using our dog Bela as a pillow. She was the only person Bela would have let do that. Bela loved Mimi with a love beyond bounds. Mimi is smiling broadly in the picture. Bela is full of joy to be her pillow.

Josh is in our dining room looking down at the chair beside him. I know from another photo just before that one that our cat, Luke, was on that chair rolling over to show Josh his stomach. Josh's look is of love and bemusement.

Animals do that for us--they bring out the best of the best in us.

There's also a picture of Bern asleep in our bed with our previous dog, Sadie, up against her back and Luke sleeping between her feet.

Animals, you got to love them....
