Hey Melvin, We're Doin' Our Best!
We made a note and stuck it on the dashboard of the bus to remind us to not forget to celebrate Bastille Day and the third anniversary of Melvin's last ride.
This is part of Melvin's going home notice:
His easy smile and quick wit were testimony to his enjoyment of life. Melvin's quiet demeanor in his later years belied his true approach to life and of the philosophy by which he lived: "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...Wow! What a ride!"
That's my young brother who blogs at Haven Lee's Hayloft doing his best to follow Melvin's advice. He took the photo below out his back door. Now that's an exciting ride!
