Sunday at Mama's

Yesterday I spent a few hours with Mom at her place.

We sat and putzed around with her phone and took a couple of selfies. It was obvious that we could use a little more practice. Aside from being quite humorous the technical quality was mediocre at best and the photography was even worse. The two I snapped were good for a few laughs ...

She showed me her new facebook photo. It was a nice picture snapped by my sister when they went out to lunch recently. I took it and adjusted the levels and contrast then made a little vignette.

If you mouse over it you can see the original picture...

We went to Ft Jackson National Cemetery and put flowers on John's grave. It's still a pretty grief filled time for us without him. We sat and spoke of all the things we're missing since he passed in January.

But we want to honor him and we try to put fresh flowers at his headstone every week and snap a photo or two of them as well ... This time we brought a bunch of canna lilies and hollyhocks with his last gardenia from the bushes in his yard. We miss him terribly.

So after a magnificent dinner I scooted back home and kicked back for the rest of the day..

Now that the new server is finally achieving gainful forward motion and the obamacare mess at work is over at long last I am getting in a little relaxation...
