Phil,

Good story, and good conclusion!  Sometimes it helps me relax just to read 
stories about the small, seemingly mundane goings-on.  I marvel at how 
detailed sounds are to you!  I wish taht you, Sandy and me, could sit on 
that swing together, and you could point out these details to me, that is, 
if I'm able to hear them.  Or, just maybe, God will bring full hearing and 
sight in this life!  come to think of it, it's only a matter of time, and 
when we all get to Heaven, we'll experience the best, with the all the best 
range of senses we'll have, and we'll be fascinated by it all, not thinking, 
"oh well, i"ve experienced it before; it's all the same to me."  Hallelujah!
