Well Tuesday has rolled around and it is going well so far. Yesterday was a sad day because I went to Mrs. Dorothy Mim's funeral. She had lived a full life but it was still rather sad. I think the music at a funeral, although it is beautiful puts me in a kind of sad mood. Things are always changing and we move on to new eras. The Mim's were definitely a large part of my life and constituted an era for me. The year before they moved to where they lived I had a pumpkin patch at that site and I made some good pumpkins. It was the one and only large pumpkin patch for me. There are lots of memories to that ground around. Makes me think of "Moses and the burning bush" and I want to take my shoes off because that is indeed "Hallowed Ground." Anyway I still think I have some of that dirt lodged between my toes. I get to thinking back in history and sometimes I get very moody, you might even say depressed. But time goes on and we must enjoy and value the life that The Creater has given us and appreciate and be thankful for that. I had a friend say the other day, "Isn't it bad going to so many funerals?" But then another friend spoke up and said, "But now as bad as going to your own!" So he had a really good point there and he pointed out by saying that, we should be thankful for all that God has given us. We can find many blessings if we just stop and think about it for a minute.
On another subject, we just had the summer solstice and summer is really here now despite the fact that it has been feeling like summer for a while. Now the days are gonna start getting shorter but thank goodness they don't get as short as they do in Alaska. I think that I am ready for them to shorten up a bit.
