A Quiet Week-end


I had a pretty quiet and uneventful week-end.
We had our 'family day' on Sunday...
wouldn't you know that was the only day
of the week-end that was a bit chilly and damp?
So..the kids were pretty much stuck inside...
they weren't real happy about that.

But..we did our birthdays for the month...
tried to go to the cemetary (but it was closed...really??)
Granted...it was after 8...I didn't see anything about
'hours of operation'...
so I'm not sure when they closed the gates...
so I'll save the visit now for Father's Day.

Didn't get my poppy again this year...
I went looking...but didn't run across
any of the Vets with their bouquets of paper poppies.

Spent Memorial Day alone...
used it to try to come up with some new pieces...
but
didn't have a lot of luck.

That was my week-end...all in all
very quiet.

Sometimes, when I visit my brother, I kind of wish for a chilly and damp day as an excuse for all of us to stay in and chat all day....even the little nephews. No such luck where we live. Grass is always greener, I guess. ;)

I'm sorry you weren't able to get your poppy this year.

The new pieces are there....it just wasn't the day for them to surface.

Sending you a big hug!

You know, I can't remember the last time I saw anyone with the little poppies for sale...? And it's a sad sign of the times that places are locked away when they used to be open...remember when big city churches used to be open every day and night? Not any more...and cemeteries are likely closed due to vandalism...dang! Is nothing sacred? Anyway, glad you got your family time...hope you have a good week!
