A Thank you

Dear Grandma Mollie,

Thank you so much for the book of quotes. I love quotes and I even have a huge list of them that I’m sure will get much larger after reading the book. I’m so glad that you drove out here from Arkansas to celebrate with me and my family. It means a lot to me that you came.

Love, Tamar

I’m glad I drove out to celebrate with you, too, Tamar.

The book is “The Quotable Jewish Woman” for those who may be interested.

Isn’t it great that Tamar is a collector of quotes? I love that, do any of you collect quotes?

Time and memorial

March 7, 2007 at 8:19 am · Filed under Amazing Space, New to me

My brother, J. B., and I spent the day picking out a memorial bench for our mother’s grave at Mount Holly Cemetary. We don’t move fast in this family, Mom died in June 2004. The bench we chose looks like this only in a deep green granite. We wanted a place where anyone could stop and sit comfortably. Mount Holly is such a lovely old cemetary and Mom’s site is along the main entry road –  we hope it will welcome folks to sit a spell.

In the fall we plan to plant bulbs; jonquil, iris, day lily. Bulb plants in the south, with global warming are dicey,IMO, but those are the only things we are allowed to plant. Water restrictions  and mowing preclude any other planting.  Now I  know why the rosemary plant is no longer there. :(   Oh well.
