The Chair of many colors.....

This chair has been in our family for over 50 years. It has been many colors over the years. This picture is from around 1974 with my brother Bill and I.



This was taken today with Katie and Randal.

39....UGH!!!!

Miss you Murphy

When I was up in NY I was able to see Murphy Dad (and Teresa's) dog. He had been living with Dad for almost a year. Today I got a phone call letting me know that Murphy died in his sleep this morning.

Will miss you Murph! I'm sure Hamlet, Rocky and Lieutenant are showing you around with Mom and Grandpa Keenan.

Miss you Grandpa

This is a poem written from my Nana to my Grandpa Keenan before she died....

Remember...

When it's time for us to say good-bye
Please my love, please don't cry
We have so many days to be thankful for
I never could ask for more.
Remember all the good times we had
forget the few times that were bad
There were times I know I made you mad
Remember all the times I made you glad.

Remember the first time I said I love you
No words were ever spoken that were more true
The days we spent together I shall never forget
why do my eyes feel so wet?
We both knew the time would come
when we would have to part
Why to I have such pain in my heart?
How do you say to someone who made your life?
My happiest day was when you made me your wife.

Remember my love even though we have to part
You will always be in my heart
Remember we shared a love that was so rare and true
I know in my heart I'll never be apart from you.
So kiss me my love and say good-bye
I don't want you to see me cry
Remember my love I'll always love you
and thank you for a love that was so rare and true.
