Aidan & The Garden of the Gods!!

Yesterday Evin and I visited our oldest grandson Aidan in Colorado Springs. After lunch at the Cracker Barrel we did a driving tour of the Garden of the Gods.

The smoke from the fires in Washington and Oregon had settled in and around the Air Force Academy. At times, the haze concealed the mountains.

After a great afternoon Evin and I returned Aidan to the Air Force Academy where he has just started his second year. We are very proud grandparents.

Distraction!!

Don't know how long if will take, if ever, to feel normal again without Doodlebug in my life. So, yesterday, Evin, Eddie, Bumble and I took a road trip for some "distraction". Above and below I share with you what gave me a little peace.

As I was taking shots of the above flowers a jeep pulls over and the driver says, "Those are some beautiful flowers aren't they?" I agree and we began talking about the beauty of Nature and I tell him about trying to distract myself from the grief I feel over our loss of Doodlebug. 

The stranger then recites a wonderful poem answering the question that I have been asking myself, "Will I see Doodlebug in Heaven?" Turns out that the stranger was writer Doug Foshee, the author of Cowboy Heart, Soul and Humor. The answer in the poem was "YES" if a pet is loved the way we loved Doodle. God gives those pets a soul. I felt much peace after hearing the reassurance of Doug's poem. God does work in mysterious ways.
