My yard has a tangle of trees and blackberry vines on one side, but when you push through, the center is what we call the grotto, for its deep underwater coolness. On the upper left is a rope with a board seat my boys played on for many swinging hours.
In a dark moment I ask, "How can anyone bring a child into this world?" And the answer rings clear, "Because there is no other world, and because the child has no other way into it." ~Robert Brault
Your boys must have loved this place ... so beautiful and quiet! Your children had the advantage of having a loving Mom, and that's what makes all the difference in the world, Dixie.
@karenann The funny thing is, my 19 year old just posted on my facebook page, "You earned an A+ as a parent, never feel like you failed at anything" I was in puddles of tears :)
@olivetreeann got it and forwarded the info to them, if they can't get it in a few days, I'll mail one of mine, I just usually ship from the printer because I only pay postage once that way.
