Hump Day...and afternoon update...

it is raining here today...

I have cleaned up the fence row in the yard between Clayton's and Dan...

 Here is a shot from the road

 Then the pasture down Dan's fence line

 Remember in the later years Daddy used to sit in the swing on the east side of the house....This was his view... and it is hard to believe but Mamma used to sit out there sometimes...Going off the back rock step....Debby sat there a lot with Daddy..

 and he could see this...

My next project is cleaning Clayton's shed...

 

Betty when you come...Fleta said she would come up and we could look through her tote of old pictures..

 

After I posted this morning at 9:30 I got a call from Fleta telling me to get dressed, we had to be in Alpena at 10:30 to bury Clayton.....That even sounds strange to you, doesn't it. It took me back a minute and then I knew what was going on. The monument place was setting his stone this morning and they were going to dig the hole for the ashes for us.

 

So Fleta picked me up and off we went. To bury Brother.

 

When the guys came with  the stone I asked something about the height of it . Then Fleta replied, "It's good enough for who  it's for." which for anyone who does not know, that was one of my Mom's sayings. The guys planting the stone laughed.  So MOST of Brother's ashes are down by his stone.... BUT....sister had to take a handful and scatter up on the Powell plot...Who knows, while she had him down there in her closet she may have sprinkled him all over the place... and I do mean all over THIS place...He may be in the yard, on the hill, and even down in this old cemetery... There is no telling with Sister....

 

BTW Virginia, Fleta is bring BBQ wings and a Cheese Cake Factory cheese cake to the reunion, Saturday...

 

Betty said she is coming up Friday and spending the night with me....We will see...
