Barb was picking up a Pup, in Des Moines, and was telling Son, Justin... about them...

Justin asked Barb, if she'd pick a Pup... out for them, too.

As I was leaving Casey's... held the door for two Ladies...

they looked so familiar.

Had to ask their names.

Turns out... they are Barb's Mom, and Sister.

also... turns out, they were our Neighbors, when I was born, until... I was about 4.

Dad was very close to their Family.... over many Years, up until he passed away, in 1987.

Trying to make them all make sense... in one post, no way. 

Not sure there's any way... to make it all make sense.
