A few years ago when Joy was moving away to college I was a little distraught. How could she LEAVE ME? A good friend told me her pearls of wisdom that healthy birds leave the nest. I’ve always remembered that saying and at times, wondered about a few of our little hatchlings.
On the eve of his 22nd birthday, brother is ready to fly the coop. While it is good to see him making plans I’m thinking of my nest (secretly of course, in the back of my mind)
Enough about that. He’s twenty-two today. Is it odd that twenty-two was a spelling word this week? It was the only number listed. Yes, it is odd. Now for pictures of the birthday boy. He is strikingly handsome, so beware.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
