See Spot ~ See Spot Go ~ DON'T KILL SPOT !

Spring is here and baby creatures are arriving.  I was reminded of this when I saw a 'spot' on my wall and memories of Dad were kindled as a smile crept onto my face.

Mom and Dad had a house of white walls.  Immaculate ALL white walls, except for the occasional dark spot.  Spots that moved, appeared, and disappeared.  Whenever any small dark 'spot' was visible, Dad would say "There's Spot."  Those 'spots' were spiders.  In Dad's house - you never killed a spider, so each and every one became affectionately known as 'Spot.'

See "Spot"

Last week I noticed several tiny spots on my wall and 'yes' they were spiders and 'yes' they are safe in my house and 'yes' they will each be named "Spot."  It could be no other way.

"See Spot Go"
Miss ya Dad .... but "Spot" is watching over me.
