Memorial Weekend Preparation
Gladys and Dick have been busy making arrangements.
Wednesday, Dick and Ted went to the cemetary in Sheridan
to clean up the grave sites of their relatives. It was
a quiet day for Gladys as she thought about her husband
Merle, her sisters and their spouses and her parents.
Dick said that the road up to the Sheridan Municipal
Cemetary was torn up for the second year in a row.
Dick's father, Merle, is buried at the Elks Cemetary
adjacent to the Sheridan Municipal Cemetary.
Thursday, Dick and Gladys went to Willow Crossing Cemetary
on Otter Creek to lay flowers on Gladys' sister Alice 's grave.
Alice was buried next to her husband Calvin Thex and her young son,
Sonny. Dick put a bright bouquet between the graves.
Peggy went to Valley View Cemetary in Broadus Thursday to
clean up the graves. She took the weed eater with her and went
to town.
Gladys went out to Jack's grave in the yard to look at
the flowers that Dick had decorated it with.
"It looks lovely. See the statue that Dick put here, it reminds me of
Jack when he was young. He was a nice boy.
I miss him, I miss my family." Gladys said tearily.
On Sunday, Dick, and Gladys will meet Sam Lei in Ashland. They
will travel together to the cemetary in Broadus to lay flowers
on Joyce's gravesite.

Gladys in Her Garden
Gladys was out in her garden today watching
Dick and Dulcie plant pansies, petunias
and marigolds. She basked in the sun and
enjoyed listening to the birds sing.
A little wren showed up and told Gladys
all about her nest and the goings on
in the garden.
The vegetable garden is progressing. The
radishes are peeking up, the lettuce is
sprouting. The baby bunnies have been
making nightly raids.

Checking Seeds
Sunny day, slight breeze moving the branches in the Siberian apple
tree as Gladys checks to see if the tomato seeds that Dick planted have
come up.
"Nothing happening here, seems like they have had enough time to do
something. The flowers sure are pretty. Clark and Pam sent me this
basket with the red gerainium in it. Its so nice to hear the birds
singing. OUU, there goes the dryer. We have to head in and fold clothes"
says Gladys.
Dick has planted Patio Zuchini in pots. There are many trays of tomato
(5 varieties), squash, cantaloupe. and watermelon seeds waiting to come up.
Lots of pots of petunias, pansies, dianthus, tomatoes, and peppers are
waiting for the
nights and the soil to warm up.
There are plans for a rototiller to show up next weekend and get the soil
in the garden tilled up, providing it doesn't rain. Dick is going
to put in enough for Jane and Auggie.

Mother's Day 2009
Yesterday, Dick drove Gladys to Ted & Peggy's for a Mother's Day
dinner. They arrived in Dick's new ride, a 93 Cadillac Seville. Gladys has
been wanting to ride around in a Cadillac for some time and she has gotten
her wish.
June Persons was there and gave Gladys a lovely minature pink rose that now sits in Gladys' kitchen window. Clark and Pam sent Gladys a basket planted with
a bright red gerainium, sweet potatoe vines and lantana. Ted and Peggy
gave her a lovely stained glass butterfly candle holder.
Gladys became a great great Grandmother again. Eli Robinson and his wife
Michelle had a baby boy named Timothy James, 8 lbs 12oz, 22 inches long
a few days ago. Timothy was born and then his dad Eli graduated from MSU
that same afternoon.
Gladys says that she's grateful to have such loving family and friends.
