My
sister, Diana, enjoys many things.
She
is very fond of animals.
early 1960s: Diana, wearing a hat for church, with our dog, Lefty
Church
is very important to Diana.
She
also enjoys writing. Here’s one of her
short anecdotes about church:
“I will be away next week,” our priest announced. "I’m going on retreat "
The service ended.
Outside, the chatter, in the breezy air, sounded happy.
Our priest was walking alone to his car .
“Father, what should we say to you as you go on retreat?” asked one of the parishioners.
“Ha,” said Father blushing and laughing ... “BEHAVE YOURSELF.”

Diana has had many different pets.
Near her lake cottage, with Cassie.
Diana enjoys fishing at the lake.
She also loves to travel.
We often talk about our trip to Ukraine.

Yes, I adore animals. I always have. But must say my first crow was called "Stinky" . It had to do with being a teenager wanting early morning sleep. Over the years my other pets had lovely
ReplyDeletenames and lots of love. I never forgot my first crow, though. And for 4 years at Sioux Narrows I
fed many a black feathered friend. I never named them but totally enjoyed them. Many a poo was brushed away with old toothbrushes.
Cabin guests had to behave or they might have missed a toothbrush.
