a masterpiece for DAD~







OK - so this year i went WAY out on a limb. pete had said the only thing he wanted for father's day was a gift certificate to jus' running so he could get some new sneakers... YAH -OK!
i had called miss laura about four months ago and asked her if she'd be willing to help me with a very special gift for pete. i was ecstatic when she replied that she'd love to. obviously the above is the outcome but for those of you wondering where kater is, please let me explain.

as most of you know digger was first diagnosed with cancer the december before we moved to asheville. we had two tumors removed from his hips and we decided to let nature run it's course. this past spring digger has developed an airway obstruction. probably a tumor in his in airway or lungs but what do we know. again, we've decided to let nature runs it's course and we are not going to do anything further until digger's quality of life is in jeopardy.

so thinking we probably don't have much time left with dig i decided i would commemorate the special bond he and trey (peter's name sake) share. thus the picture of just the two of them. a gem to be cherished by our family for years to come!

Very nice, a lovely piece of art that will be treasured, to be sure.
I have been thinking and worrying about your fam in Iowa. Hope they are all on high ground. I must say that everyone looks like they are pitching in and doing their best to protect the cities affected, so scary to think all could be lost in one fell swoop of nature.They have our sympathy and prayers.
