Ella and Rachael

ot too long ago, it seems that Charly was a little girl. She and her family attended the same church as our family. Her dad Richard, although a few years older than me, was a very good friend. Richard was a really talented man. Armed only with a paint brush and a little paint, he could walk up to a wall twenty feet wide and write an advertisement on it. When he was finished, every letter would be spaced perfectly, be the same size, and spaced exactly in the middle. No rulers, just eyeballs...amazing! Charly got her artistic ability from her dad and her gentle spirit from her mom.

Today she's a young lady with two beautiful children of her own. It's so nice to watch kids grow and to be able to see bits and pieces of their parents in them. And it's always nice when they allow me a little time to step briefly into the lives of their children. I present to you ...Ella and Rachael!
