I don't know about everyone else, but we had some serious rain today. At first I was really glad that it was raining just so I had a pathetic reason for not going out for a long long run today. Yeah running didn't happen. What did happen was a lot of sleeping and I think my body wouldn't have made it beyond a quarter of a mile today. I haven't been ill for a while and it isn't a welcome thing. Oh well...it can't last forever.
In favor of Memorial Day I thought I'd put a little post for one of my grandpas. (given he is the only grandpa that is no longer living). My grandpa K., whom I have so graciously taken a self portrait from and posted in on my blog as my profile picture. I didn't know him very well because he died when I was really young. I now have a greater appreciation for how into art he was and his talent. He made every one of his family's Christmas cards, was an excellent artist and a photo nut (heheh.... I know where I get it from) I wish I could sit down and have some discussions about things and I know we would have been super close. These photos were taken by a friend (they worked for the church magazines) as he was trying to impersonate some other models. They crack me up and I love photos that do that. We did put flowers on he and his wife's grave...in addition to a few others. My mom and aunt outdid themselves by putting together some gorgeous flowers and doing super cleaning of the gravestones which I think is nice and a very respectful thing to do. As always I watched and attempted to help where I could. This means getting water for the flowers and picking up the clippings of the stems. Yeah me!
Happy Memorial Day.
p.s. I will put up some photos of my other grandparents but at the moment I have none on my computer....a goal to work on.
