altars and friendship


My friend and fellow blogger, Gloria, has posted photographs and commentary on her Day of the Dead altar.


She has graciously included Professor Jiggs amongst her family members and pets. Jiggs would appreciate it.

I certainly do.

    Gloria is one of the better folks floating around cyberspace. I imagine the same can be said of her in real life.

    I have Jiggs as my laptop background. He was my 'virtual dog'.

    What a great idea to include Jiggs when remembering the dead.

    BoBo's Mom -- That puppy photograph is one of my favorites. It captured his exuberance -- and a bit of his devilish side.
