Scoots, Shoots & Leaves

"As directed by her...."

This is Joan. She's really not a grumpy old biddy as she appears here. She was re-enacting a court case for us, portraying the defendant in a will challenge. She had us rolling in the aisles.

In reality, Joan is a godsend. She lived with Laurie's mom the last six years of her life, as caregiver, companion, friend, gardener, housekeeper, cook, travel buddy and, at the end, helped with hospice care. We were so lucky to have her become a part of the family.

Here are a few more portraits I took this week - my sister Nancy and her husband Gene and fur kid Blackie; Laurie's brother Dick and sister-in-law Pam; Laurie; and Joan. And in case you missed it, a slideshow of my 91 year old dad and his wife.

We're home as of this afternoon. It was a great trip - lots of good visits, good food, great scenery. 700 miles of driving in 5 days. I'm ready for a nap.
