I had a wonderful chat with the Von Grinner last night!
Additionally, it was a great week with the dad of the family home.
Yesterday we had a wonderful Memorial Day - fishing, rock climbing, garden planting etc. topped off with tinfoil dinners, watermelon, and s'mores.
Oh! And Rudy and Marty installed a light switch in the laundry room! We have pulled a chain there for 28 years... (Keaton STILL pulled the chain to turn the light off last night...)
THANKS to Rudy for doing SO MUCH this week to clean out sheds etc. and to whip the yard into better shape. Trimmed trees and bushes etc... :)
Here are some photos - starting with the new table we got on my birthday after playing with the pirates. (Notice the dog house moved over to make room for a hammock between the apple trees - one of Rudy's finds in the carport shed.)
Also some photos of "Closing Night" at Canary Garden, the Grief Support group that I've volunteered with since April of last year. The group picture is part of my pre-teen group. My co-facilitators were the man in that group picture, and also the wife of the bagpipe player, (who is a group facilitator of a younger group. I was teamed with him last year). All of the families write messages to their loved one and attach them to balloons. As the bagpiper plays, the balloons are all released... Very cool.

That was a very nice holiday - everybody got to do something they wanted to do and we got to be together! Missed the other half of the family, but since it was Memorial Day, we REMEMBERED you :). Nice post about your volunteer work, mama.
That picture of you and Rudy is so cute! Thanks for the good times!
Looks like a fun time. Makes me miss Utah... Thanks for memorializing us, Kin.
That looks so fun. I miss Utah, too. Of course, Damian and Amy's blog makes me miss Florida, too. Why is this family so far-flung? Anyways, great post. Spiche looks great.
