River Dog! – 2017

This year’s river trip in July found Harold, his mom and her sister in the West Texas Hill Country at Garner State Park and the Frio River. Even in the middle of summer, the river is on the cool side. It is aptly named; ‘frio’ means...

When is Mom coming hooooome?

Once, while taking physical therapy for shoulder surgery and having a doctor’s appointment right after, Janna left him home with Dad as it would have been hot in the car that day. He doesn’t mind staying home with Dad, but it’s not the same,...
