journaling:
Still reeling from the loss of Dusty Puppy we decided to go ahead with plans to attend a MTSU/Vanderbilt football game with a church group. As we hoped, it was a great distraction. Over on the left is Gnash, the mascot for the Nashville Predators hockey team. He cracks me up! 

In the middle is what’s left of our oldest son’s car. His wife Joelle was in an accident at 3 am on the first, and she and her friend walked away with cuts, bruises and a minor concussion. All six airbags deployed. God is good. Their youngest, Preston, just turned three!

While we were in Chattanooga, we watched the news as Hurricane Harvey plowed through Texas and left major devastation. This week it’s Florida’s turn.

This storm has the potential to be even more devastating than Andrew was back in 1992. We lived through that one and this one has us terrbily worried for our family and friends that still live there. We invited our son and his family to come stay with us in Tennessee, but he scoffed at us. We were being too dramatic. Uh huh.

They’re planning to leave south Miami and go to his in-law’s over on the Gulf Coast, in Naples. We still think he’s crazy, but he’s an adult. The path shows that our entire family could be affected: Scott in Miami, Steven in Atlanta, and us here in Tennessee. Yuck!

We cried and then we had to laugh when the vet called to say that Dusty’s remains were ready to be picked up. They were so sweet, and I didn’t look at the box until I got home. Really? “Dusty Poppy?!” They’re replacing it at no charge and were very embarassed.

Saturday was annual Old Timers’ Day in La Vergne. We helped out at the church booth for a bit and then took a ride on the ferris wheel.

Wow you have had some big highs and big lows you in week. I like the way you have a photo of you and your DH at the top and then again at the bottom!? Hope all your family and friends were protected from the two big storms!

I enjoyed your journaling and photos and although I know there are a lot of meanings for poppies, the first thing I thought of when I read Dusty's "mistake" was -- Dusty was a tall and bright presence in your life and pages, just like poppy flowers are.
