My friend Val,
A good friend introduced me to Val in 2016. I fell in love with her and her family right off.
Val is a retired schoolteacher and Girl Scout troop leader.
I recently found out one of my old friends from my punk rock days was her neighbor and did an elaborate play with her kids in Val’s back yard. Small world!
I took these photos a few years ago. She has a wicked scene of humor. She keeps me on my toes and on the floor laughing every time I see her. I’m a very sarcastic, blunt person with a dark sense of humor and Val gets that, feeds off of me.
I am a very lucky person I get to come and hang out with Val, she has welcomed me and Hammer into her home and life.
She brightens my days.
I want to share her with the world so they can see whom I see in her.

Game time with Val: There was a time when we played this game and we would get stumped so I would ask Val to make a face then take a photo to post on Facebook and my friends would play with us. Now you can play because I can't remember the answers anymore.

Val and Hammer: Where ever Val is Hammer is there. He is such a great dog. They hang out so much they now have the same expressions.

Little white dog (LWD): Samson is my friend Rebecca's dog. I was dog sitting for a week and he came with to visit Val. Val fell in love with him. After he went back home, she will look around and ask me "where is that little white dog?” His nickname was made. We call Rebecca to ask when LWD can come and visit.

Food art: I like to make Val laugh and plating her food is one way I can make her laugh.
