~APPRENTICESHIP~

Apprenticeship. Isn't that what life is all about? We learn from those who have been there and hopefully take from their insight what is the best part of this world...Most of us learn from doting parents, older brothers or sisters or great friends we meet along the way but there are a select few of us who have the blessings of aunts and uncles who adore us, who, in so many ways would without pause step in and give of themselves as parents do.

My Uncle Carl passed away last weekend. He was 86. There was never a guy on earth that made a pair of jeans, a white tee and a mustache look SO good. Such a talented and sweet man. Those piercing blue eyes will be missed for now by those of us left behind but, Something tells me there is a big family reunion being planned even as I write this... Mom, Aunt Choral, Aunt Betty...Keep it simple and yes, I would love to bring a salad!

Susan, Diane, Y'Vonne & Don
Uncle Carl's & Aunt Betty's
Children... All together again!

I LOVE these guys!
