All the memories through the years

 Portland, Maine

 Doing what he did best no matter where he was, talking on the phone!

 Carriage ride in New York City

Of all places to have his picture made in New York, outside the New York Stock Exchange by the bull.  Legend has it you rub the bull to bring financial security.  John was all about that. I am so glad after the kids were grown, John took time off, which he had never done before and we enjoyed spending that time traveling.  Those are sweet memories I will never forget.  Even today the kids laugh at all the funny things he told upon returning from one of our trips.  God gave John a gift to see humor in all things.  Not every one has that gift but he certainly did.

 We could never go anywhere that we did not end up in the middle of car row or imagine this, following car haulers.  Who would have ever thought we would be behind car haulers in of all places Canada?

Ferry to Statue of Liberty

We took a cruise up the New England coast to Canada with a stop in Boston.  That was probably John's favorite port of call.  We did a tour on the amphibious or land boats and our driver, DuckTape was so funny. He reminded me a lot of John.  Some how John talked his way into driving the boat.

 John enjoyed life and most of all he loved his family.

As I looked through all these pictures I am reminded of the blessing of love and many sweet memories I have shared over the years with a wonderful family that God chose to bless me with.
