My aunt Paula took this photo of John and lawn jockey, Dexter, at my family's vacation house in Glen Arbor, Michigan. In September, 2006 my dad and Janis got married at the house and so my silly aunts', Paula and Sue, independently decided to buy a veil for Dexter to wear. During the ceremony Paula's dog wore one and Scruffy spontaneously walked down the aisle in it. They put the other veil on the bass head on the wall. Later, Dexter wore the veil and John wanted his picture taken with him. Each year John and I vacationed here to our favorite place and I begged him to drag the heavy Jockey, whom I randomly named Dexter, out of the garage for our amusement.
We were also to be married here. I hope our friends and family will please join me up here this summer in May and/or August to enjoy our favorite place, and share our John stories. The backyard is on the beach where he loved to make bonfires and watch the sun go down and watch the amazenly bright stars. In the day he loved taking the boats out and walking in the woods and along the beach. I can not bear going up there without him so if you come, it will feel like he is here!
