Statuesque

So, just to give a quick update for what's been going on here: two weeks ago Tuesday my brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. Wednesday they determined it was untreatable and he had about two weeks left, so he decided to come home and spend his last days in hospice care. I went up there (central Illinois) Friday to support the family, and got there a few hours after he came home. Saturday the hospice nurse thought he was fading faster than they thought, and he might only have a day or two left. He passed away about 2:00 Sunday morning. The funeral was this past weekend.

I'm bringing this up mostly to make a plea. He didn't like his picture taken; I went back through 20 years of photos and only found about 15-20 of him, and friends and family couldn't find many more. Those photos were worth more than you can imagine to sis and the kids. So please. Even if you don't like having your picture taken, or a loved one doesn't - take the pictures. Give the family something to remember the happy times.

Chowing down

From a distance, it took me a little while to realize this was a statue. *sheepish look*
