I LOVE LOVE this photo of all the Parry men...four generations of men with a few sweet girls thrown in the mix. Since Grandpa Great has passed on, finding special photos like this means a lot more now. Almost a year has passed since his wreck and every day we certainly feel a void. We know he is hanging out in prison watching over our boy!...He did Love McCord!Jana and I (Mike had a migraine from way too much left over Christmas chocolate and we are getting Kim's papers ready, so she can make the trek to Gunnison a time or two before she foals in March) went to see Cord on Saturday the 8th. Cord has a letter to mail out...delinquent boy that he is....He said when he tells us what has been happening every week, it takes like 5 minutes to tell, but he says when he writes his letter it seems to take forever....but then neither Jana or I can remember the story by the time we get home....so I guess we'll wait for the letter.
The GOOD news...is that he was made a Junior Mentor last Tuesday, which means???? He is at the top of the pile!! To make Senior, you have to be in OVER a year and he definitely DOES NOT want that to happen! SO countdown to April 6 continues....creeping some days and zooming some weeks...
Cord said when he walks from his "house" to visit us, he has to leave his coat on a hook with all the rest of the visiting inmates and since all the coats look the exact same...they have to look for their little label on the back of the coat that has their name and number on it. He said he bought a beanie from commissary...(as you can see how cold his head would get) but he won't wear it when he comes to visit, because if he put it in his coat sleeve to store it (or hide it) there until after his visit, all the other inmates leaving will feel through all the coats and if they feel a lump, voila...a missing beanie...and who is the wiser? They are all government issue with no identifying features, so Cord is very wary of his "possessions".
Letter is in the mail.....
