Husband I and I spent a quiet weekend celebrating 43 years of marriage. Dinner, champagne, gifts, time with family, and a few friends. This evening, he picked up this book and read it to me. The Boy, the mole, the fox and the Horse. Written and illustrated by Charles Maskey. A perfect ending to a perfect weekend of celebrating LOVE. and then….. a rainbow.
Celebrating LOVE.
They are celebrating thirteen years of marriage! On their wedding day, her father toasted the bride and groom with kind words and wise advice. He shared that in marriage, there will be good times and challenging times (and there will be many). Make sure that you get on the same end of the rope and pull together. Congratulations, Emily and Simon, on your beautiful married life!

Good hair does not stay home.
When your grandson leaves the lake and forgets “Dog-dog” and “Starbucks.” You reassure a heartbroken Hugo that Boom will drive his friends back to Chicago tomorrow. Meanwhile, you turn on Hugo’s favorite car movie and let them relax; this seemed to help.
Dog dog, and Starbucks. Michigan.
A safe place to fall, into your mother’s arms.

PEACE.
Pure Michigan.
I will be your witness in your life.

May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.
