Last Ride

The front carriage is carrying the casket of my Uncle on the way to the countryside cemetery.

The Buggy returns home empty, to the home place where my father grew up. It was a 1/2 mile walk to the cemetery. I visited this home many times as a lad. So much nostalgia here. Playing in creek, etc. RIP Uncle Christ!

Two Great-Grandchildren help to cover the grave of my Uncle whose funeral was today.

My good friend reading to his daughter!

I was prompted to post this blog after reading Beth’s blog this morning:

Happy Thanksgiving

From our home to yours. Our dining room is all prepped for company.

Tasty Meal

Stir-fried veggies. Lots of choices for hot sauce! I think curry powder was actually used. The meal was prepared by our grandson, also including salmon and rice. Topped off with a family tradition (Grape nut pudding), a nice finish to the meal.

Motion

Cousins playing with swing!

Happy Birthday: Dustin

My son’s 48th birthday is today! I decided to use a little editing in Lightroom.

Getting used to my new mirrorless camera (Sony ZV-E10). I was parked on the road trying to capture a photo of this wild turkey that was crossing the road, and then trying to get over a fence. So it goes.

On this day I enjoyed the many sightings of birds and animals. A sandhill crane out in a farmer’s field, this turkey crossing the road, and on three occasions deer standing beside the road watching me go by. I stayed with this family, who had Baltimore Orioles coming to their feeder, like I have house finches, and goldfinch coming to mine! In the evening we strolled down to a large pond and caught a mess of crappies, and bluegills, which were enjoyed the next morning at breakfast! Their little boy is around 9 months old! This all happened on my two day, 1,000 mile trip into Michigan this week.

Enjoy your day and the rest of the week!
