Our first Christmas with the puppies.
“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” – Roger Caras
Bliss and Faith do not like their Christmas collars
and photo shoot but it’s a tradition they will get use to.
St. Rose Catholic Church
Fr. Andres has family visiting from México
His parents and sister are sitting in the front
Alter server Jayden is also in the picture
8-year-old nephew Joesph is carrying the cross
Something good that came out of Covid:
Since Covid, the Presbyterian Church has been having
Christmas Eve service in the yard: carols, candles, scripture
Having the service outside is now a beloved tradition.
After the outside service Bruce and I drive home
by going through town to see the lights
The moon is over the town tree in the park
This is so Lake City!
The deer – as if a Christmas decoration!
Christmas 2024
Was the last time my brother and I spoke.
We didn’t know that he had just over a month to live.
This time last year my brother was just living his life…
Then Danny had a freak accident January 31, 2025 and died February 10, 2025

Hope was still our dog this time last year…
Christmas 2023
Joy was still our dog…
Life is so brief and uncertain
What’s important for you to accomplish in the New year?

A powerful piece showing the temporary nature of life. The photos certainly add to it too! Enjoy the New Year.
