Losses

I lost a member of my extended family a few days ago. I just found out about it this morning. We weren't blood relatives, but we were definitely related. His name — the one he went by — was Lewis. I met him through his wife and over the internet. You know his wife too, if you've read this blog much. She's Evelyn, and she's a frequent commenter. Evelyn and Lewis and Walt and I took trips to several different parts of France over the years. My love to Evelyn and her two children. I'm tearing up, so I'll stop here...

  3. Thank you, Ken. Let's remember all the good times and our laughter- Lewis loved being with you and Walt and we felt like family from the beginning.

  5. I was so sad to see Evelyn's news, when she posted about their loss, on Facebook. I see Lewis' face in my mind every time I see one of Evelyn's comments here, in fact, remembering when you posted about your travels with them (that was the Salers trip, right?).

    1. Yes, it was the Salers trip, but also the trip to see the horse show at the Haras du Pin in lower Normandy; I took a lot of photos there and posted a lot of them. Trips to Paris of course, too. The first time E and L came here and stayed with us was in 2004. We stayed a couple of times at their house in Alabama, and they came to my home town in N.C. in 2014.
