Well Memorial day is here again, and I'm working. I don't think I have had it off in a very long time. Memorial Day always brings back a rush of feelings as I remember my Brother Parry who died in a watersport accident on this weekend. It exspecially did this year due to the fact that one of my good friends lost her Dad unexpectally in a accident last week. Life is so amazingly short, I can't believe that we waste so much of it doing trivial things. It also gets me to think about Lyle Anderson, and how much I really do miss him. It was so hard to imagine a life without him in it when he passed away, but here I am doing it, but he still continues to be in my heart and mind often. I do truely miss him.
This time of year is also a happy time for many as they are graduating and starting out on their adult lives. We also had the opportunity to go and see my Nephew Josh graduate from high school. He graduated from Kemmemer High school in Wyoming. It was a great graduation program, with a teacher who talked about the tools needed for a long happy life. She gave each of the Graduates a black fabric bag with items that represented the tools they would need to be happy. I really liked her symbols. Some of them was love of who you are, pride in what you do, like doing a good job because you take pride in the job you do, exercise to stay healthy. Stuff like that. Anyways I kind of chuckled too because his graduating class was 36 students. Thats like 1 classroom in any of the local schools here!!! Wow talk about knowing everyone in the school. Afterwards we went to Kay's house and had a great feast and the boys tried out her hot tub. Thanks Kay it was lots of fun and your new house is fabulous. Someday I hope to get a house custom made too.
