Family

Debbie (my sister), Joan (my wife), and Richard (my brother), walking along the harbor (St Joseph River) channel in St. Joseph, Michigan. We were heading to the pier on Lake Michigan. 8/24/2013.

Yesterday my sister posted a little essay to Facebook that mostly described a phone call we'd had the day before--just keeping in touch; no substance to the call. The essay also talked about her cat, vocalizing, but the note was mostly about reaching out to friends and family.

She attached a photograph she'd taken on this visit to St. Joseph, of Joan and Dick and me, on the pier, with the lighthouse on the other pier in sight. I almost immediately added this photo in the comments; soon Joan chipped in with an image she'd taken during this visit. 'Twas a fine, and well documented, afternoon.

Anyway, here's to better times. And to memories.
