This is the "New Year" card that we received recently from the Owenses. We think it is a great likeness of each of them. Julie and Jack came to visit yesterday as part of the trip to pick up Sadie from pre-school. Carolyn came soon after so Julie got Sadie and we all had a good visit. While our paper file sorting during the past few months has been a real burden, it also has it's rewards. I don't know how many things we have come across that Julie did while she and Carolyn lived with us during her childhood. We don't throw any of them away but continue to savor the memories. One of the things I came across today was a "Father's Day" card that she gave me in 1991; she would have been 11. On the front of the card it said, "Because You're Like a Father". Inside she wrote "Grandad" and signed it "love, Julie" Here is what it said: "You've been just like a father, And a very dear one, too--You've shown such warmth and interest In the way that fathers do. And so it seems just right to send A special wish your way With extra-loving thoughts of you Because it's Father's Day/ Have a Nice Day.
