My son recently turned 18. LOTS of memories and emotions have been bubbling up š one thing that I keep finding is pictures of him in and around the ponds & waterfalls. He simply LOVES them! So this one is my offering for Throwback Thursday.
Jacob has loved Koi and ponds since birth I think š This was taken at the dedication to this teaching pond at a local school 16 or so years ago. This picture ended up on the āPonds for Kidsā booklet that promotes Ponds in schools. #Throwbackthursday
He was 2 in this picture šĀ This āTeaching Pondā is still being used to inspire and teach youngsters about science, ecology & even art. A BIG shoutout to the great educators that were and still are responsible for this school pond happening! Steve, Elizabeth & Christine – Yāall Rock! Keep up the good work!
Have a great #throwbackthursday!

Last night we had one heck of a storm! Heavy rains flooded back roads & strong winds blew! Every Fall we get a storm like this, timed perfectly to blow all the leaves from the trees. Bill Way called it a āLeaf Stripperā. A friend mentioned this morning that we had one of his leaf strippersā last night! Then I realized, today is the 1 year anniversary of Bills passing…
1 year ago today our friend Bill Way passed away from Pancreatic Cancer. May he Rest In Peace. Gone but not forgotten!
Iād like to think last nights āLeaf Stripperā was old Bill blowing through. I still think of him often & miss his voice on the radio every day. Rest In Peace brother Bill! You are gone from this place, but you are not forgotten!
Prayers for Susan & his girls & all his family!
Bill loved waterfalls! I can only imagine the waterfalls he is seeing now. RIP
