Today we celebrated my Uncle Paul. He was a veteran, so his casket was draped with the American flag, which was removed and ceremoniously folded and presented to my aunt. After the graveside service, we all retired to a local restaurant for lunch and a visit with old friends from the neighborhood and relatives who didn’t make it to Paula’s service.
Later Duane and I had a nice visit with my sibs: brothers Tim from CA, and Ed (Paula’s husband) from IL
Sisters Martha (right), and Marycarol and her honey Dave. We chatted for a couple of hours before Duane and I had to return to our house.
It is parked on the backyard of our daughter Rachel and son-in-law Benji. Our grandkids Simon, Judah and Maddy are delighted to be back in their playhouse.
We renewed our acquaintance with our grand dog Buckeye, a labradoodle who was a baby when we saw him last.
Grandpa made good his brag that he would whup the boys at croquet.
We played net less badminton, enjoyed a nice pasta Alfredo dinner together,
then relaxed before bed.
All day with the kids tomorrow.
Louise and Duane
