...And Sorrow
“He who has not looked on sorrow will never see joy.”
Kahlil Gibran
Saturday was full of happiness but two days later was full of sorrow. On Monday, we attended the burial of our good friend, Lynn Murrin. She had plenty of sorrow in her life but she always responded with joy. And that is how I will remember her.
The picture of the roses was taken on Sunday. They were supposed to be given to the parents of the bride and groom during the wedding ceremony on Saturday. That didn’t happen because one of the guests passed out during the ceremony. The guest recovered but it took a while so we removed the rose exchange part of the ceremony to save time. It was a day full of surprises.

Aerobics
“The word 'aerobics' came about when the gym instructors got together and said: If we're going to charge $10 an hour, we can't call it ‘jumping up and down’.”
Rita Rudner
These two lovebirds are jumping for joy because today, July 20th, they will be married.
I’m jumping myself because I am the father of the bride. Smiles all around.

Quit Puffing
“I want all hellions to quit puffing that hell fume in God's clean air.”
Carrie Nation
Especially if the hellion is leaning up against a gas pump. This is the lonely
gas station in Kalaupapa, the former leper colony in Molokai, Hawaii.
There are no roads that connect Kalaupapa to the rest of the island.
