...Simply beautiful . . . every avenue of this post.<br /><br />Life is sweet . . . let's celebrate every minute of it.<br /><br />Now I'm off to Costco to load up the goods and bring 'em home like a merchant ship from afar. I'm taking E & R with me -- we're gonna celebrate at Olive Garden and a trip to Michael's for yarn. Something to celebrate everywhere I look (if I choose to see it). <br /><br />Thanks for the sweet post of reminder -- life is beautiful and then we cross over to Paradise. Wow! Now that's something to celebrate!<br /><br />p.s.<br />I always wondered if the viewing this was to reinforce to those of us left behind that it really is just a shell. We spend so much time fixin' up, maintaining, and coveting the shells and then we leave it behind in the blink of an eye. <br /><br />Now I'm off to fix my hair with a fresh perspective. Hey! I'll be Fresh Fixin' with a Southern style!

I think I'll make them stand me up.

It was nice.<br />Stew's Dad died recently and he looked like a tailor's dummy... so unnatural.<br />Anyway... I love your photos.Chris Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599144462630400401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-89507587218247571892009-08-16T15:35:19.464-07:002009-08-16T15:35:19.464-07:00Around my parts there is a dinner, held at the dec...Around my parts there is a dinner, held at the deceased family's home, after the funeral. During the funeral different ladies of the community convene at the home and cook/bring food/whatever so that the family/friends have a huge meal afterwards. I love those stained glass windows.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123691580195879542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-55267690351539882942009-08-16T14:05:23.986-07:002009-08-16T14:05:23.986-07:00Looks lovely!
