For our friend...

A very special soul came into our lives over a decade ago. When I first moved here, I became acquainted with her while I was substitute teaching at the Middle School.  She is always pleasant, supportive and professional and it was an early joy for me to get to know her there. When Scott and I went into business, we were lucky to have her as a good customer. We appreciated her support and the early morning chats as she was on her way to school.  When Augusta arrived into our lives, she provided her with the kind gift of a book, Come Along Daisy, that has given us hours of joy as we read it to her. About 8 years ago, she also became part of our spiritual life as part of the family of St. John's. Her inner peace, her dedication and her strength have provided us with a living and breathing example of the many facets of joy. Now, as we think of her every day,  I can only hope she will know the joy will continue to accompany us as Augusta now reads the book to Charlie. 

Joy continues to illuminate and warm us and for that we will be forever grateful to you. Thank you for sharing your joy and your example with us, good friend.

With our love to you and your dear ones,

Augusta, Charlie, Scott and Justine

Rocking Moose

It doesn't make noise, light up, play annoying music or need a litterbox/bark collar.

It has a rope tail and sturdy antlers.

This moose is in need of a new home because its kids have grown up and are now neglecting it.

Call me if you want to schedule a visit to see if this is the moose for you.
