Re: New Campfire

I thought I'd stop by and throw a few branches on the fire and stoke it up a bit. Elaine loved it here. Every time I stopped in, she was here, poking the fire and humming to herself. I can sneak up on anyone, believe me, but not Elaine. As soon as I got near, she would shout out, "Hello, Bill! Welcome back!" and I would respond, "Hello, Mother Nature!" and we would laugh and sit poking the fire until others showed up to join us. She had an indescribable quality that will last through countless campfires and stars shooting across the midnight sky. Elaine will be at every campfire I'm ever at from now on. Please join me and throw a branch on the fire for Elaine, as a tribute.
