The other day I was thinking back on the experiences Sylvia and I have had. It has been an interesting time for us and for our two sons. We’ve lived in two states and two foreign countries. Those experiences have enriched our lives. We treasure those experiences.
As I thought about these things, I turned my browser to my photo archives. There I found two photos of our older son, Bryant, that speak to some of the changes I’ve been talking about.
The first photo was taken while we were living in an old farm house in central Michigan. Lots of room for this lad to play outside when he got home from school. And a dog that loved him too. After Christmas of 1972, we left this area of Michigan and moved to San José, Costa Rica.
Things were great at first. Then came the rainy season. The heavens would open the rain would pour down, the gutters along the streets would run full. A short while later, it would end. The sun would come out and the world be beautiful and the air fresh. Flowers bloomed it nice, that is unless you were a youngster who wanted to go out and play.
Both great memories, but that second one is very expressive.
Pictures say it all sometimes. Thanks for sharing the cute pictures and memories!
Wow. I can't believe that you packed up your kids and moved to Costa Rica! How long were you there? Did you like living there? Why did you go there??
Memory is a wonderful thing; and you have stored some good times therein!
