Mom's Crepe Myrtles ~~ July 2017






The Colonel ~~ Southside SPCA, Meherrin, VA ~~ 1995


This was Colonel the day we first saw him at the shelter when we took some items to donate to their thrift shop.  He was born at the shelter to a mother who had been brought in as a stray. At four months old, he was the last of his litter left un-adopted.  It was a pretty day and they had moved some of the dogs outside and he was sharing a small pen with 2 young beagles.  The beagles were romping and playing and Colonel was his trademark mellow self.  Classic Colonel ~~ sticking close to the food bowl!

Kitchen Dad ~~ Early 1960s

"Hi Honey, We are getting ready to drive into the park this morning.  Stayed last night in Gallup, New Mexico.  Hope everything there is okay.  It is rather cool here in the morning but went to 90F yesterday."
