A group of us went out for breakfast at Ginghams before we headed over to the cemetery. In attendance were: Myself and Emily, my Dad and step-mom Judy, sister Becky and Steve, Dad's boyhood friend Bill with his girlfriend Sandy (childhood girlfriend of both Jim & Bill), Bill's mother (you call her either Mrs. Wooten or Mom), and two of Bill's kids with a couple of their kids. Oh yeah, and Aunt Mickey and Uncle Gene, too. Steve (Becky's fiancé) is an active Boy Scout Leader and he's spent the entire day yesterday out at the cemetery planting some of the 150,000 small American Flags at the headstones of all the servicemen. He was nice to go along with us again; I'm sure he could have enjoyed relaxing at home.
Then we all met back at Jim & Judy's place for a very nice outdoor lunch on the patio next to the pond. Later, after the crowd thinned out, some of us stayed for a second helping of dessert and a game of "marbles." That's a game that mimics the game that I played as a kid called Aggravation; except you play with cards instead of dice and act like it's a grown-up game. So you call it Marbles instead of Aggravation.
Just thought you might enjoy a slice of life down here in God's country.
