People say your siblings can be your closest friends. 'Tis true.

The hardest part is when they keep moving on with their live, finding new adventures and embracing change, leaving you behind. But I treasure the memories I have with them. Especially the captured ones.

Ducks!!!

A picture is worth a thousand words.
I'll just let the ducks speak for themselves.

But I do have to add. . .
THEY ARE THE CUTEST!!!!

WOW! Long time, no post!!

Life is just running away with me!! What I’d give to have time to breath! My life is basically work and living. Work is good! And the sun is shining so life is FANTABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just had to say "hello. I'm alive and well. How are you?" before life takes another unexpected turn and its a few more months before I post again.

Gilbert being prepared for the next unexpected experience.
(actually, that's a good idea!)
