Jim and Joyce

Brian’s parents.

It has been a tough ten days for the Alexander family.  Jim has been healthy and active but got sick and has been in and out of the hospital for the last week.  He has been mostly stable, so we didn’t see it coming like this, but last night he passed.  His entire family was with him.  A charming guy: he pretended he was cranky but there was always that twinkle.

Brian and Becky’s kids are all coming home to be here.

Freddy!

Remember Freddy from 2022?  Hanging out on our deck and in our fountain all summer.

Then he was gone.

Well, Freddy just reappeared in the basement window at Becky’s house!  A thousand miles away!

I think he wants to come in.
