On this day when I was young we used to always go to my Grandmother's house in Evanston, Wyoming. We would make a trip to the cemetary with flowers for the graves. I remember my Uncle Charles large headstone. He died of influenza while serving in the first world war in France after having been married to my Aunt Ida for only a short time. She never remarried. In an older cemetary we found the graves of the children in the family who had died early. For me it was a time to ponder about death and life.
Linn runs in the Bolder Boulder race this morning.
This view of the Willamette Valley reminds me of the view of Provence that I have been seeing in the DVD 'A Year in Provence.'

The next time you come my way we can go to Evanston and visit the grave sites. Many of our relatives are there. It has a special meaning in my life and yours. Diane
