The life lessons: Did you know a dogs only purpose is hunting? I still call B.S. on that one Grandpa. Fishing, playing with hot wheels in the living room. All 9 million pictures you showed me of rocks in New Mexico(how and why does one person know so much about rocks??). Coors, camping, La Cygne Lake, smoke stacks, target practice with beer cans off the fence, making lightning bug jewelry.......So many memories came flooding back today. Thank you for all of them.
