Memorial Day

Yes, it was a month ago.
I'm so behind, so now I'm sharing pictures from Memorial Day. Thanks for not thinking I'm weird.

You know what is weird?

Looking at your grandparents...

WEIRD.

This is the cemetery by the church my grandpa Jim grew up in. It's one of those calm, serene places in the middle of farm country in northern Indiana. I don't know if I want to be buried there, but I would be amongst many of my maternal family members.

My great-grandparents were good people. Salt of the earth. I always think about how my great grandpa would give us his special hug including a zerbert. [zurbert? You know that thing where you kind of blow on a child's neck and it tickles them? Am I clearly communicating here?] My great grandma would always say, "Oh, bless your heart." Always.

Good people.

Is this irony?

  1. That is ironic. Even more than rain on a wedding day. Or a free ride that you've already paid. Or good advice that you just didn't take. And who would have thought? It figures.

    Oh the good ol' days of angst ridden music.
