A few weeks ago in sunny California I snapped this shot of my sweet brother-in-law Robert and his outside cat Ping. About four years ago my sister Lorna and Robert fell in love via a Christian on-line dating service. At the time Lorna lived and worked in the Chicago area, where she had for most of her life. Having reached the age of fifty- something without ever marrying, she thought she’d remain single the rest of her life and was more than okay with that. She had a great job, a lot of close friends, and owned a beautiful home. Then Robert, a California guy through and through with a home in Nuevo, CA, came into Lorna’s life. Long story short, these two are an ideal match. Can’t tell you what a pleasure it is to see both of them so…happy.
