Three Beautiful Things 05/25/07: Graves, Slots, Snug


1. Mom, Silver Valley Girl, and I visited my father's grave today and laid flowers on it and on his next door neighbor's grave, Paul and Nadine Taylor. The cemetery is undergoing ambitious renovation and we saw the changes for the first time.

























2. Ed and I had a fun trip down to the Cd'A Casino and played for a few hours and came home with no new money.

3. Silver Valley Girl's former next door neighbors had a German Shepherd that Snug barked at through a hole in the bottom of the fence. Snug charges outside and sprints to the fence, ready to do barking battle with the dog and hasn't figured out yet that the dog's not there. I love watching him sprint the length of the yard and be undeterred by the dog's absence.

Bob: You're welcome. My mom and Silver Valley Girl took flowers from their respective yards. I know SValley Girl got lots of purple for Nadine since it's her favorite color.

MToasty: I also spoke out loud to him, thinking he'd like to know the Red Sox were 9.5 games ahead of the Yankees in the standings yesterday.

Was it at Greenwood? My husband's uncle J. Miller,Sr. is in charge of the committee that raises funds for the upkeep there. The Hunk likes to contribute from time to time.

Did you come home with "old money" - just playing on the words.

I laughed at Snug. Aren't dogs amazing in their memories! He will probably sprint across the yard everytime you let him out. . .for a while. I wonder how long it takes for dogs to realize that things have changed?

I'll join Bob T. in saying thanks for visiting our grandparents. It's cool to know that our families became intertwined twenty years ago.
