My Favorite Earthly Possession

[AdoreMyDogs]

Boy, I sure have a way of killing a perfectly good, interesting thread don't I. Heavy sigh.... It's happened several times in the last months or so.. Why?

I post about a silly pillow and you post this amazingly heartfelt, lovely thing. You most certainly did NOT kill the post. Quite the contrary actually. Makes my Earthly Possession seem so silly hehe.

Richard, thanks for posting the 60 Minutes feature......so troubling.....things are so much worse than i imagined and seemingly not getting any better.....

That's a sad but true story, Richard. It makes me wonder the fate of my former next door neighbor.
He was a private contractor - did mostly renovations and small jobs. After the devastating hurricanes hit FL several years ago, he decided he was going to move there and get rich quick with all the work that there would be for him. So he sold his house, packed up the family, and moved to FL. Sure hope it worked out well for him and his family.
I just can't imagine the living conditions that so many folks down there are faced with now. Such a shame - and so terrible for the children.

A recorded tape my brother made when we were kids. he recorded a lot of things. like us laughing together an goofing around. our mom an dad talking. even Brute(Pug mix we had through our child hood) barking an play growling in tug of wars.

ya know... its weird. we think we'll never forget the sound of those we hold dear to us but we do. over time the sound of their voice an their laugh(or bark/neigh etc) fade or leave our memory completely.

with recordings though its kinda like having pictures. pictures that you can hear
