...took a little time today to write a little message for Tim's Grandma Colby. We are having a 90th birthday party for her tomorrow, and all the grandchildren got Pandora charms to represent their families to give to her. The write up explains our charm. Overall, there are 11 grandchildren...10 great grandchildren...let's just say she's gonna have to keep up her weight bearing exercises for this bracelet! Happy Birthday Grandma! We love you!


“The River”

We see you in many ways, Grandma, and enjoy you at many times and in many places, but the place we really see you is at the river. At camp. It is a place of chaos for sure, when we have gaggles of people and all their stuff there! But it is also a place of rest, of peace. A place to have fun, to fish, to play. It is a place we come to be together and to sit, for a small moment, in awe of all that a family can be. People often hear of our antics at camp, and of how many people will be descending upon a tiny group of islands to share a humble abode for a few days. They see the pictures. They marvel at who we are as a family, and at what our family does.

Are they confused? Probably.
Are they envious? For sure.
Should they be? Yes!

WE have a wonderful family, and a wonderful place we get to share. It is all because of Grandpa, and because of you. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts, and when you look at your Happy Fish charm, think of us, and of camp, and of all that it means to us, to you, to us all.
