I'm Retiring!!!

It's true! I'm all done with work and quitting.

Yes, ending my 25 year career and flitting.

To become a homemaker.  Do some knitting.

Like a dragonfly, I'll be around flitting!

Alliteration Lover

I'm reading "A Gentleman in Moscow" by Amor Towles and love it.  He writes with lots of alliteration that rolls right off your tongue and pops pretty much off the page.  

"...it was hosted by the high or the humble..."

'impression of an imperious young lady'

'human beings are so capricious, so complex, so contradictory, that they deserve our consideration...'

Every page is plum packed with alliterations.   Even the chapter headings all begin with A or a group of A words.   I love this kind of writing.  Amor has my vote.  I must also read his best selling book,
'Rules of Civility'.  

I am now in the mood to alliterate.   All in an Awesome DayYeah!!

Sign for the Skinner Cemetery

At the Skinner Cemetery we hung a sign,
Where we found graves of relatives so divine.
We're honored to be part of their great vine.
To serve and meet them would be super fine.

It is interesting that Jane & John Skinner's birthdays and death dates are within a few days of each other (birth May 28th & 30, death June 27 & 28). We were there on June 29th, to clean the graves and place a sign we had made to mark the place of our beloved ancestors.   Allan made the sign and did a beautiful job.    We traveled to Nounan, Idaho, to clean graves, repair headstones and hang the sign.   What a beautiful day it was.

 We, Patty Anderson, Sandy Sadler & I, joined Jim,(my brother) & Elaine Crane and family in a service project at the Skinner Cemetery. What a joy! — with Elaine Crane and Patty Anderson.
