Eight Months

 
It's been 8 months today since Shiloh (aka PhD*Son) died in the helicopter crash.

We have this sticker on our kitchen window, much the way Gold Star families
put a star in their window when their loved one died in the service. 
Shiloh designed and lead the process by which the American Oystercatcher birds increased by 45%, so this seems fitting.

Blue Sky Day

If you haven't seen yesterday's blog news, please start there today.
You'll see why.

✨💜 RIP ALAN 💜✨

 

Our dear friend Alan D. Barbour died this morning at 5:00am Pacific Time. 

It's Candlemas! 🕯️

 

listener won't be dipping candles today due to still recovering. 

But plans to do it sometime in a month or so maybe.

Welcome, February

 

Goodbye, January!
