Eighty years ago a little nine year old boy won a prize for best costume. That little boy was 89 years old Nov. 22. He is my Uncle Fred and my Dad, Ed's twin brother.
Go Outside and Play!
“Go outside and play!” said God.
“I have given you Universes
as fields to run free in!
And here—take this and wrap yourself in it—It’s called:
LOVE
and It will always, always keep you warm.
And stars! The sun and the moon and the stars!
Look upon these often, for they will remind you
of your own light!
And eyes…oh, gaze into the eyes of every Lover.
Gaze into the eyes of every other
for they have given you their Universes
as fields to run free in.
There.
I have given you everything you need.
Now go, go, go outside and play!”

would be nice to see a picture!!!
do you know what he was wearing?
must have been really cute.
speaking of cute - nice to see the whole lion-video, so far I had only seen parts of it.
and you know what? my little one really does look like a lion. I don't know maybe you've even commented on it... he was dressed up like one this Halloween... and some one even asked if his hair was real - and yes, hair and beard, everything is real! I always call him my little baby-lion...
so Sharon: when is your birthday?
isn't it around now?
and did you get my letter?
lad to see you got things back in order. I like the header and background better now.
Ooops, I forgot. Congrats to your uncle.
