Tonight it was announced that Sonny Kraach died. I'm relieved he isn't suffering anymore, but I feel like another link to Grandad was severed. Like his circle of good friends his age are all gone now -- Ted Henry, Mel Foss, Lyle Holcomb, Ray Carvalho, & now Sonny.

I'm looking forward to finally meeting Ted & seeing how much he & Shan are alike. I miss the way Mel would pull my braid, the twinkle in Lyle's eyes, & the smile in Ray's when he was proud of you. It will be good to take Sonny up on his promise to take me out on the ocean....

Ugh, I have just spent the last 5 hours working on posting our father's van on ebay! Here are some of the pictures I used (not that anyone cares, but after all that frustration, I want to share some of the pain). . .















Aarrgh! Enough all ready! I'm off to see the doc.
