Above – I may have already posted this photo, but Bill loved his little dog Blake so I thought I’d post again for his birthday.

Bill would have been 92 today. Here’s a vintage photo of him with JR at one of our Idyllwild family retreats. JR must have been 3 in this photo which make this about 8 years ago. Bill loved the kids. While going through my photos to put together a slideshow for his Celebration of Life, I found many like this with the young ones. They were the joy of his life. 

Speaking of birthdays, Saturday we celebrated at the Longhorn for Jesse’s 19th birthday. Jesse’s a crackup and we had a lot of fun.
  

Monette & Danny (& John…)

I couldn’t resist taking this photo. If I were a judge, this one would be at the top of my list. It’s on Del Mar between Venice and Santa Barbara.

I’ll close with this photo of Blake. Every time I visited Bill in the hospital he asked how Blake was. She is fine, Bill – full of life and joy. She may be missing some teeth but she makes it up in personality.

Blogged on Amma’s iPhone in memory and with LOVE!
