Ron brought him by while I was raking the grass yesterday. Winston put his crankies on hold for a few minutes, and I got my baby fix. What a mutually satisfying relationship. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-56873338926026968832008-04-08T21:54:00.000-04:002008-04-08T21:54:00.000-04:00Wow I couldn't help but see the next 20yrs of Wins...Wow I couldn't help but see the next 20yrs of Winston's life flash before my eyes.

He'll have two more years to go after that and then he'll be trained for a specific mission. I'm dreading those days. I'm also proud as hell. Equal parts. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for stopping by. :)<BR/><BR/>• Thank you, Photowannabe. I'm trying to figure out how they sped past us so quickly too. I remember when we once said "Never trust anyone over 30" Now we're hard-pressed to have children that are under 30.. sigh!

She said that I'd showed her the picture online, that one of my online friends had taken the photo... Lo and behold it was your photo.<BR/><BR/>After it was enlarged, not only was the red cardinal in the snow visable, but a female cardinal in a bush nearby. She's a gray color.... I just wanted to let you know that one of your pics now adorns the wall of one of my friends living room... pretty neat, huh?<BR/><BR/>-TamieTamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718597223043391398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-71984502085337219512008-04-07T14:41:00.000-04:002008-04-07T14:41:00.000-04:00Delightful Hilary.
