I would like to tell a Liz's-garden story. Liz has always had the most creative gardens, but one of them was particularly beautiful with flowers blooming in artistic array. When one would drive into Liz and Sno's yard it was such a delight to see the scatter.
Well, one beautiful day, I was driving by and there was a mature lady and her daughter walking down the sidewalk. They saw the flowers, deterred from their focus, ran over and stole one flower after another, even pulling up the bulbs as they jerked them out.
So, I quickly pulled in and ran into the house and said, "Liz, some woman is stealing your beautiful flowers. Do you want me to catch her?" She said, "What?" then she laughed and said, in her direct fun way, "No, of course not. That's why I put them there...for people to enjoy!"
(You taught us many lessons of love, Liz)
