Strawberry Picking and Two Funerals - 174/365

Today Boardman Rotary had to say goodbye to one of their members. Jim and I attended calling hours for this evening for Nik Amstutz, who passed away after a brief illness. He was a great man, who loved to give back to the community. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
 This afternoon, Reagan, Jim and I had to say goodbye to another good friend. Our butterfly Crumbles passed away this afternoon. We are all extremely sad to see him go. We will miss our orange eating friend. We loved keeping an eye on him and taking him outside to the Butterfly Bush. He would immediately start nectaring. He loved it! 
Reagan was sad, but did great at his funeral. We painted him a little rock with his name on it and buried him next to his favorite Butterfly Bush. She waved goodbye to him. It was so precious. I think she did better than Jim and I. She was so brave. 
We will miss you crumbles. 
This morning Reagan Nana and I, headed out to White House Fruit Farm to do our annual strawberry picking! We wait all Spring for it to finally be time! Reagan just loves picking. She splits her time filling my basket and Nana's, she's an awesome helper! 
The strawberry's were perfect as usual! They had a great crowd, too!
One more funny thing....after the calling hours, Reagan and I went to dinner with Nana at the Phoenix. When we got home, Reagan jumped out of Nana's car and ran up to Jim's and hugged the back and and screamed, "Daddy's HOME!" It was too precious!
