As I am putting this editorial together the sounds of chirping birds outside my open office window are a joy to listen to. We have had a weird spring this year with snow, sleet, rain and other unique visits of weather from Mother Nature. I think She has had some severe PMS moments but that is the Pacific Northwest for you, ever changing and don’t take the weather for granted. Our now deliciously warm days are more than welcome and it is hard to sit in the office working when sunshine and the great outdoors beckon with the enticements of relaxation and all the good things that go with it.
Life is so precious. To appreciate who we are and those who are in our lives means that we give meaningful attention to the present. This was brought fully to me when one Sunday last month we spent an afternoon celebrating the life of a man named Harry. Harry passed away on March 30th. We had come to know Harry through the Scottie rescue organization in Puyallup, Washington. He and his wife were very involved in this wonderful group for years. Harry and his wife Florence have been Scottie breeders and are very dedicated to finding homes for those abandoned Scotties that needed them.
Prior to his passing Harry requested was that there not be a funeral. The family instead had a party celebrating the life of this very special man. It was wonderful to see the turnout of people whose lives he had touched. His daughters put together a beautiful power point program that told his story, showed special photographs of significant times in his life and throughout the whole presentation there was music that complimented the vibrant remembrance of a dearly loved father, husband, teacher and friend.
Each person I talked with had a special experience to share. One woman said that Harry always went the extra mile, doing thoughtful things that you wouldn’t expect. Another told of his tremendous patience; someone else mentioned his dedication to quality and excellence in all he did. His love of family, helping his children, grandkids and great grandchildren was mentioned frequently by family members. Harry left a wonderful legacy.
In a world today that too frequently is filled with pain, anger, disorder and discord we need to remember that there are many Harry’s who go about living their lives with purpose, passion, love and commitment. I want to say thank you for being a part of this experience called life and I want let you know you do make a difference; you are appreciated and you are not only needed but loved too.
Even though I may not know you personally I wish a Happy Father’s Day to all of you special guys.

Power Thought for June
Getting up in the morning and having work you love is what makes life different for people. If you get into a position where you don’t love what you’re doing, get off it. ~~Bob Woodward
(~.~) June's Chuckle (~.~)
It took five years of postgrad work, but I finally fulfilled my dream of becoming an archaeologist. My first job was with a museum supervising a dig in a nearby town. As we worked under the hot sun, I noticed a woman and her son peering down at us.
Seeing me in a hole, covered in mud with a pickax in hand, the mother told her son, “See what happens when you don’t finish school? You end up like him!” ~~Nicholas Marquez-Grant

Recipe Box
B-B-Q Shish Kebab
Shish Kebabs are easy to fix and a fabulous way to get veggies into the meal. All you need are large chunks of your favorite meat (you can marinate your meat 24 hours or more in advance of the BBQ) and then string the meat on skewers, alternating with various vegetables. You can add a different flavor by putting fresh bay leaves between the meat chunks and vegetables. Cook your meat according to your taste preference. If you desire rare and juicy push meat cubes and veggies close together. For well done keep space between pieces on skewer.
Here are some marinade recipes you might enjoy using. 1) 1 cup red wine, 3 Tbls. red-wine vinegar, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 garlic clove crushed, 1 large onion and the herbs or spices of choice. Mix well in a large plastic bag, add meat and put into refrigerator until ready to cook. 2) Texas Hot Sauce: In a saucepan mix 2 cups ketchup, 2/3 cup Worcestershire, ½ cup cider vinegar, 1 tsp. salt, 2 minced garlic cloves, dash of cayenne, and 2 Tbls. oil. Bring to boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Makes about 3 ½ cups.

GOLDEN NUGGETS
True Stories about Real People
This is a story that I received and I don’t know who the author is but
it touched my heart and I’m sure it will touch yours.
A Dad's Story
On July 22nd I was in route to Washington, DC for a business trip. It was all so very ordinary, until we landed in Denver for a plane change. As I collected my belongings from the overhead bin, an announcement was made for Mr. Lloyd Glenn to see the United Customer Service Representative immediately. I thought nothing of it until I reached the door to leave the plane and I heard a gentleman asking every male if he were Mr. Glenn. At this point I knew something was wrong and my heart sunk.
When I got off the plane, a solemn-faced young man came toward me and said, "Mr. Glenn, there is an emergency at your home. I do not know what the emergency is, or who is involved, but I will take you to the phone so you can call the hospital." My heart was now pounding, but the will to be calm took over. Woodenly, I followed this stranger to the distant telephone where I called the number he gave me for the Mission Hospital. My call was put through to the trauma center where I learned that my three-year-old son had been trapped underneath the automatic garage door for several minutes, and that when my wife had found him he was dead. CPR had been performed by a neighbor, who is a doctor, and the paramedics had continued the treatment as Brian was transported to the hospital.
By the time of my call, Brian was revived and they believed he would live, but they did not know how much damage had been done to his brain, nor to his heart. They explained that the door had completely closed on his little sternum right over his heart. He had been severely crushed. After speaking with the medical staff, my wife sounded worried but not hysterical, and I took comfort in her calmness.
The return flight seemed to last forever, but finally I arrived at the hospital six hours after the garage door had come down. When I walked into the intensive care unit, nothing could have prepared me to see my little son lying so still on a great big bed with tubes and monitors everywhere. He was on a respirator. I glanced at my wife who stood and tried to give me a reassuring smile. It all seemed like a terrible dream. I was filled-in with the details and given a guarded prognosis. Brian was going to live, and the preliminary tests indicated that his heart was OK, two miracles in and of themselves but only time would tell if his brain received any damage. Throughout the seemingly endless hours, my wife was calm. She felt that Brian would eventually be all right. I hung on to her words and faith like a lifeline. All that night and the next day Brian remained unconscious. It seemed like forever since I had left for my business trip the day before.
Finally at two o'clock that afternoon, our son regained consciousness and sat up uttering the most beautiful words I have ever heard spoken. He said, "Daddy hold me" and he reached for me with his little arms.
By the next day he was pronounced as having no neurological or physical deficits, and the story of his miraculous survival spread throughout the hospital. You cannot imagine, we took Brian home, we felt a unique reverence for the life and love that comes to those who brush death so closely.
In the days that followed there was a special spirit about our home. Our two older children were much closer to their little brother. My wife and I were much closer to each other, and all of us were very close as a whole family. Life took on a less stressful pace. Perspective seemed to be more focused, and balance much easier to gain and maintain.
We felt deeply blessed. Our gratitude was truly profound.
The story is not over !
Almost a month later to the day of the accident, Brian awoke from his afternoon nap and said, "Sit down Mommy I have something to tell you." At this time in his life, Brian usually spoke in small phrases, so to say a large sentence surprised my wife. She sat down with him on his bed, and he began his sacred and remarkable story.
"Do you remember when I got stuck under the garage door? Well, it was so heavy and it hurt really bad. I called to you, but you couldn't hear me.. I started to cry, but then it hurt too bad. And then the 'birdies' came." "The birdies?" my wife asked puzzled.
"Yes," he replied. "The birdies made a whooshing sound and flew into the garage. They took care of me."
"They did?"
"Yes," he said. "One of the birdies came and got you. She came to tell you "I got stuck under the door." A sweet reverent feeling filled the room. The spirit was so strong and yet lighter than air. My wife realized that a three-year-old had no concept of death and spirits, so he was referring to the beings who came to him from beyond as "birdies" because they were up in the air like birds that fly..
"What did the birdies look like?" she asked.
Brian answered, "They were so beautiful. They were dressed in white, all white. Some of them had green and white. But some of them had on just white."
"Did they say anything?"
"Yes," he answered. "They told me the baby would be all right."
"The baby?" my wife asked confused.
Brian answered, "The baby lying on the garage floor." He went on, "You came out and opened the garage door and ran to the baby. You told the baby to stay and not leave."
My wife nearly collapsed upon hearing this, for she had indeed gone and knelt beside Brian's body and seeing his crushed chest whispered, "Don't leave us Brian, please stay if you can." As she listened to Brian telling her the words she had spoken, she realized that the spirit had left His body and was looking down from above on this little lifeless form.. "Then what happened?" she asked.
"We went on a trip," he said, "far, far away." He grew agitated trying to say the things he didn't seem to have the words for. My wife tried to calm and comfort him, and let him know it would be okay. He struggled with wanting to tell something that obviously was very important to him, but finding the words was difficult. We flew so fast up in the air. They're so pretty Mommy," he added. "And there are lots and lots of birdies." My wife was stunned. Into her mind the sweet comforting spirit enveloped her more soundly, but with an urgency she had never before known. Brian went on to tell her that the "birdies" had told him that he had to come back and tell everyone about the "birdies."
He said they brought him back to the house and that a big fire truck and an ambulance were there. A man was bringing the baby out on a white bed and he tried to tell the man that the baby would be okay. The story went on for an hour. He taught us that "birdies" were always with us, but we don't see them because we look with our eyes and we don't hear them because we listen with our ears. But they are always there, you can only see them in here (he put his hand over his heart). They whisper the things to help us to do what is right because they love us so much. Brian continued, stating, "I have a plan, Mommy. You have a plan. Daddy has a plan. Everyone has a plan. We must all live our plan and keep our promises. The birdies help us to do that cause they love us so much."
In the weeks that followed, he often came to us and told all, or part of it, again and again. Always the story remained the same. The details were never changed or out of order.
A few times he added further bits of information and clarified the message he had already delivered. It never ceased to amaze us how he could tell such detail and speak beyond his ability when he talked about his birdies. Everywhere he went, he told strangers about the " birdies." Surprisingly, no one ever looked at him strangely when he did this. Rather, they always got a softened look on their face and smiled. Needless to say, we have not been the same ever since that day, and I pray we never will be. ~~Author Unknown
