Did you all hear me whining and fussing this week? IS IT EVER GONNA GET BETTER???? Some days are worse than others, but it seems it is never gonna be so wonderful ever again.

Anyway..... today would have been Michael's birthday. Also, his headstone is set.

Oh Eva that is breathtaking! Bravo for her! I was so sad when we finally got my piano moved to the new house last weekend and I sat down to play.... and all my memorized pieces are gone from my mind. Time to start again I suppose! The problem at the old house was the piano and TV were in the same room and hubby is an avid TV watcher... but now they aren't! Also our storage unit got broken into last month and they stole my piano bench.

Well I hope you will soon play again, your pieces will come back much quicker. I am glad you have your piano again for playing.

I despised the clarinet. My mother was the sort of mother who could not separate her personal and academic interests from mine. She played clarinet; I had to play clarinet; and it made my overbite far worse. The dentist even told her *before* I was signed up for band that I should not play a single reed instrument - and he listed them all off for her. It was a miracle I finished high school, given I took all sorts of foreign languages (which I hated) because she loved foreign languages. I enjoyed vocational agriculture; she made me drop it for another language as a junior. It seemed every subject I wanted to take was one she wouldn't let me take because either people would think the wrong thing or I allegedly wouldn't enjoy it because she hadn't. I really wanted to take business courses and vocational agriculture so I could get a job at more than minimum wage after high school as my mother had informed me that college wasn't an option for me as employers of college graduates probably wouldn't want me because of my handicap and unattractive appearance. So I graduated to minimum wage work and it took me ten years to earn a degree.

I am also glad that the service for Cyn's father-in-law was one that he would have enjoyed. Funerals are for the living, but it is nice when they acknowledge the real person who died.

I am so sorry to hear what you had to go through in your childhood. But I am glad you got a degree.

Kathy, Michael's headstone is beautiful. I am so sorry you lost your boy and my heart still aches for you. I cannot imagine the pain of such a loss and won't even allow my mind to go there.

I lost my post, if this it's a duplicate, I apologize.
Charlize, my broodie game hen delegated her sitting chores first to her two daughters and now the Wyandottes are helping out. Chalrize is the mastermind, chasing squirrels away. Each morning when I bring food, she makes an entrance squawking the loudest, letting everyone know of her utter importance.

Triple broodies and Charlize

That headstone tells such a story. It is beautiful.
