That is a wonderful tribute honoring your mother. And because of what you say: "I learned from her to see." we, your readers, have ample reason to be grateful to/for her as well.

A great tribute to your mother. You have been fortunate with the two important women in your life.

I have a dog that looks just like Gandy.He is a mut with trace of beagle and chiwawa. It is hard to imagnine a life without a dog.

Gandy was Rhodesian Ridgeback and German Shepherd—the smartest dog we ever had. Or at least the most obedient and faithful. And solid muscle.

Dear me, Rob, good to hear from you! Thank you for sticking around in spite of my association by Country Code to the threatened invasion of your country by what used to be mine.
