Our daughter Sara, her husband Mark, and our granddaughter Maya came to our house for Mother's Day, and the cousins had a wonderful day playing in the backyard and around the house. Unfortunately, I was not on the ball to take pictures yesterday, but I know I will have the opportunity to get the 3 of them together soon. I did, however, snap a few quick shots today when Jack lost his second tooth!!
I've got a loose tooth
A wiggledy giggledy loose tooth
I've got a loose tooth
Hanging by a thread!
I pulled my loose tooth,
My wiggledy giggledy loose tooth
And now I have a quarter and a hole in my head!!
(The little chant we would sing at school whenever a student lost a tooth!)
Eli and a moment with our golden retriever, Lucy
A Boy and His Dog
by Edgar Guest
by Edgar Guest
A boy and his dog make a glorious pair:
No better friendship is found anywhere,
For they talk and they walk and they run and they play,
And they have their deep secrets for many a day;
And that boy has a comrade who thinks and who feels,
Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.
He may go where he will and his dog will be there,
May revel in mud and his dog will not care;
Faithful he'll stay for the slightest command
And bark with delight at the touch of his hand;
Oh, he owns a treasure which nobody steals,
Who walks down the road with a dog at his heels.
No other can lure him away from his side;
He's proof against riches and station and pride;
Fine dress does not charm him, and flattery's breath
Is lost on the dog, for he's faithful to death;
He sees the great soul which the body conceals--
Oh, it's great to be young with a dog at your heels!
