Floyd: The ECU Pirate Dog

Floyd was a special commission for  "Jennifer" a little girl who was in my 2 year old class way  back in the day.  Jennifer grew up to be a lovely young lady and Floyd was her pet. About the time Jennifer got pregnant with her first child  Floyd passed away. Her mother called me and asked me to paint a picture of Floyd so they could have it on the wall for the baby to see as he grew up.  They chose the Photograph of Floyd with this big OLE grin on his face enjoying the sunshine. Jennifer was my absolute favorite two year old way back then before I had any children of my own and it was a special treat to be a part of her life again.

This week I decided to work on my blog by adding a few community things. I am glad I did, it has been nice to stroll through memory lane.  I am sure now that maybe I am ready to retire and let the world spin on with out me. 

Looking back at this bitter cold wet day  in 1996 I remember the thankfulness I felt towards the men who showed up to pour all that concrete that the Sunrock company delivered for free. That side walk these men  labored over was at least 350 feet long, they were wet and tired but also set up ten heavy concrete picnic tables that were donated by the area churches and they  did it all in good humor.

Sometimes we rescue.

Sometimes we need rescuing.

That was a day I was rescued.

I am forever grateful that I am not a man.

It was hard work

I am forever grateful for men.
