The three brothers

Beautiful headstone with a Pansy motif in each corner




We finally took Mom home to rest in Grandforks...drove her past the old homestead and told her how she did such a fine job of making the property look beautiful. Sad to say, the new owners have tried a few things...a green house and new trees and raised garden beds, but every part of the yard was a foot tall in grass and no signs of flowers or garden being planted..


The good thing is that we made thousands of wonderful memories there when Emil's mom was alive and healthy. Those are the sweet memories we have to hold onto. We congregated at the cemetary. John and ronda brought down the beautiful headstone and we brought the urn, and Lawrence and Lori brought Christopher, whom I hadn't seen in years. ..Yep, he is all growed up into a pleasant young man. Lawrence had recorded Jessica singing Now Comes the night... a peaceful song that brought tears to everyone's eyes when Lawrence played it . Lori brought beautiful pastel peach coloured roses ...one for each of us to put at the gravesite, and Ronda brought a beautiful bouquet of mixed flowers to add to the fragrant cream and purple lilacs that came from my garden. We all said our good-byes and each of us poured in a handful of blessed sand over the urn, and that was about it.





Ronda and John and Emil and I met at the golf course and we had a hot afternoon of golf... a perfectly pleasant way to end the day.


On the way home, we encountered a moose calf up on the Blueberry Paulson... all legs and it was a movin'!





So Kudos to Correna...She ran her first ten k. run and made it in an hour and 9 minutes!~ That s awesome C! to boot she hit the front page of the Edmonton Journal...

To top it off, the race began at 8:00 in the am! That is a feat unto itself...just getting there...so she says! I'm impressed!

Those are the highlights of the week-end...I'll write more another day... Sorry for not blogging...jsut too much on the agenda this past week...
