Writing the final blog

Writing is always difficult, always a grind. Today, as I sat to write the final blog entry for Jan's and Simon's blog, a myriad of ideas surfaced as I thought about these two wonderful young men who spent the year here in Rumford with me and Bailey and their neighborhood aunt and uncle, Connie and Ben. 


Having too many ideas as a writer is both inspires and creates challenges... nearly two hours later I pasted a few short paragraphs into the blog and ended the yearlong collection and a special time.  


Now, perhaps more than ever, I understand the old saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words."
