Which way to the beach?


What Grandma and Vi Vi do in the waiting room while we visit: the inky dinky spider.




Hey, did you just pass gas?
Gotta love kicking back and resting the old, tired feet.

This is Clayton with two of his wonderful nurses.  Fil has enabled Clayton to have moments of just being a guy, hanging out and talking about motorcycles.

    A simply amazing story followed by such a sad ending. I went to school with Clayton, though I did not know him very well. To the family, I am deeply saddend by your loss and my thoughts are with your entire family.
