(Off topic - Pete, is that a giraffe collection?  And is your house that beautiful lavender?)

Glad you noticed!  :) Actually it is a turtle and giraffe collection. My partner, David, who is 6' 10”, is the giraffe and I'm the 5' 6" turtle!  LOL  If you look closely in the garage photo, there's a turtle poster in the background and a giraffe one to the right.

Yes, our house is that beautiful lavender.  We recently had it painted and David chose the colors.  They are his late mother's favorite colors - and now when we give directions to our place, we can truly say, "You can't miss it!"  LOL 
Is there anything interesting up there in heaven?

Need to know, Eric; could you actually sleep with Ennis and Jack in your room?  I enjoyed this adventure and those pictures 100 times over because I was just there, saw it all with my own eyes. Thank you for posting and sharing!  Pete, knew you were trying to pull this off, Congratulations on keeping "our boys" safe!  This the the greatest capper to my visit.  Tell You What,  this is one goddamn bitch of a SATISFACTORY situation.  Yee Haw.  I still can't believe it.

All I can say is Ditto...Great photos, great caper, awesome addition to your shrine, Eric!

Pete, thanks for sending me the link.

(I just have one little off-topic question for you, Eric. I noticed your harmonica on a shelf in one of your photos. Looks as though maybe it hadn't touched lips in its life. Bow still on it after three months. Have you been practicing!?)

I like that!!!!  :)

As far as I know, I think that is Eric himself (with a self-timer).
