It is always a pleasure to come by; your stories have always been a nice respite from the bumps in the road, and when I read your blog about your children, I re-connect with my memories of when my children were as young as yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your entry about 9-11 was one of the most poignant of any I have ever read. On the anniversary just past, I was once again reminded of the horrible scene of watching both towers fall from my office window. But your story showed the hope that continues after tragedy, especially considering the time at which it was originally written; when most writings were still dripping with thoughts of vengeance – mine included. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You capture the fruit of the wonder in life; in your marriage, your children and yourself. You are always an inspiration and a joy to pay a visit to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocas</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23631923/310380371033748457/comments/default/3947220375357573343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23631923/310380371033748457/comments/default/3947220375357573343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavmenagerie.blogspot.com/2009/09/summers-last-hurrah.html?showComment=1254176095757#c3947220375357573343' title=''/><author><name>Rocas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14372285549946893194</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://gavmenagerie.blogspot.com/2009/09/summers-last-hurrah.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23631923.post-310380371033748457' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23631923/posts/default/310380371033748457' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23631923.post-1354900858140332199</id><published>2009-09-23T22:38:42.362-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-23T22:38:42.362-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I only went once this year myself, and the beach g...</title><content type='html'>I only went once this year myself, and the beach got flooded out by the remnants of a hurricane.&lt;br /&gt;Great pictures.
