Amazing . . .

No caption needed.  Smells so good.

Former sister-in-law, numéro deux, invited me to go see the Connecticut Sun play the opening game of their WNBA season against Coach Laimbeer and the New York Liberty. What a lot of fun! Not sure I've ever enjoyed a sporting event as much as I did last night. The Sun won but they really had to work hard in the second half to pull it out. Did lots of yelling and clapping. Felt good.

Early breakfast, late Mass this morning before heading out to the cemeteries where I placed some beautiful flowers on our plots. It is so windy that many of the pots at the cemeteries were already knocked over. I'll check on them tomorrow and bring some water too. Puppies and Dante's Pop  brought me to Oneco to visit Gram's grave but we couldn't find Old Grandma Rose's. So we left and journeyed through the dirt roads and woods to West Greenwich, RI and Plain Meeting House Cemetery. We were amazed at how beautiful this historic old cemetery looked. It seems that one man has taken on the task of  putting together the old broken monuments and those that some thugs had pushed over. He has also cleared every grave marker and stone. He found graves that had long been forgotten, whose stones were buried under mounds of soil and weeds. What an impressive job. Great Grampa Rose and Grampa are  at peace there with three young nineteenth century children. On our way home we came upon a lady in the middle of the road trying to save four ducklings that someone had just run over. It was an awful sight. The mother duck was on the side of the road quacking furiously. Poor thing. Don't understand much about human beings any more. I used to be an optimist. I'm not a pessimist yet but on my way to being an agnostic when it comes to mankind, if that is possible.

While I was at the basketball game last night Puppies and Dante's Pop had visitors. A young couple from RI stopped by to pick up the rest of the rhubarb. They stayed and chatted; I'm sorry I missed them. Mary is a wonderful photographer full of curiosity, fun and interesting takes on how to live. She is a character in the best sense of the word.
