Long before sunrise this morning, Bunny jumped on top of Grampa’s camera bag and yelled: “Take me! Take me owling, Grampa!” How could I resist? After all it is rare that someone wants to get up long before the sun, drive long distances just to walk back roads in search of owls, but Bunny insisted! How could I refuse? (Many Bunny and Owl photos follow … we had a very fun and successful time)

The Great Gray Owl, Bunny and Grampa watched for 25 minutes.

Let me backtrack. Isabel, one of my six grandchildren was visiting Grammy and Grampa (along with her three siblings and parents) for Christmas. Bunny came also because Bunny NEVER leaves Isabel’s side. Both Bunny and Isabel are five years old. While leaving our house in Duluth yesterday to drive home to the big city, somehow Bunny fell out of Isabel’s arms and dove into the deep snow. Thankfully Grammy discovered Bunny in the snow, but long after Isabel and her family left Duluth.

Molly and I had a potential disaster on our hands. Bunny could not be sent “package express” to the Big City from Duluth till Monday. It was Saturday evening. However, one is not awarded the title of Grammy and Grampa without being smart when it comes to solving life’s problems. We would turn Bunny’s time with us in Duluth into an adventure. Isabel would be kept constantly informed … often with pictures … on how Bunny is doing. Is Bunny lonely? Is Bunny scared? Thankfully this morning in response to one of our many texts with Bunny photos, Isabel exclaimed: “Bunny is having fun with Grammy and Grampa” Disaster averted!
