2022 Happy To Be Here

Every year before Memorial Day some members of the family get together to plant geraniums on ancestors' and friends' graves. Today was that day. We make a day of it. I left work a few hours early so we could join the rest of the family at the first cemetery. We normally go to five cemeteries, but a bridge is closed so we only went to four.

The hat isn't complete, but it should fit Keziah when done. It is just a mockup, so it most likely won't be worn. The printer. We were given a used printer that the owners couldn't get to work. I got it to work with my laptop. It has a scanner that I haven't tried yet, but for just printing black it is fine so far. After lunch time I met my friend, Amy, for a walk. We did just over four miles. My map program glitched (had us going over the pond) but hers didn't. Good times. On the drive home I saw a red tailed hawk taking off near the highway. It was beautiful, but I was driving, so no pictures. ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of M...
