Meet Eddy

Yesterday was adoption day. We could hardly wait. All our lives, it seems, we have talked about getting one. But we never acted.

Then, two weeks ago, we were offered one FREE...an old family retainer, no less, that had been neglected of late and needed a home that would make him feel wanted and useful again. All we had to do was take a drive up to Sturgeon Bay to pick up 'Eddy' and bring him home in the truck. We had to do it! 'Eddy' had been owned and loved by Rich's late uncle and aunt (Ed and Sophie), and was being cared for at this time by Rich's dear Aunt Irene.

We made the long round trip to Sturgeon Bay on one day (6 hours each way). Aunt Irene, all 93 wonderful years of her, had lunch waiting for us: chili and homemade cherry pie. And, as Rich and I put Eddy into the back of our truck, we felt the promise of all that Eddy could offer us.

Now that Eddy is safely housed in our garage, we plan to run out and get some new fixings for him: oars, padded seats, a new motor, and lifevests.

Hope you enjoy meeting Eddy!
