My mother is adamant about the fact that the second story is true, but, you know before I read your comment, I never thought the possibility that her father could have exaggerated the puppies predicament.

If someone doesn't want you to read their blog, they wouldn't comment with a link back to their blog.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-51564805645284851292015-05-27T12:26:14.375-04:002015-05-27T12:26:14.375-04:00Hello Jean,I love your blog, and you seem like one...Hello Jean,I love your blog, and you seem like one strong lady.

Winter winds carry they stuff all over the place if you don't. But some stones can get completely covered in sod if they are set too low (like Don's) which I swear they do on purpose to make mowing easier.

Today is the last day of the long weekend. We usually hang our flag in this weekend, but it's still hanging at the other house. We haven't put the bracket and pole on this house yet. I hope you have a good book.

Poor Mr. Ralph doesn't even HAVE a grave!! I'm thinking about a permanent place for some ashes here in Portland. Then I feel like he'd rather be in Maui .... do I spend that kind of $$$ to have him in both places? And what about his hometown???? Which is why I have done nothing.<br /><br />It's The Awkward Widowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729456066739275695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-35393046469209373652015-05-24T23:58:43.868-04:002015-05-24T23:58:43.868-04:00There's a Holiday?
