THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER


Yesterday was the last day of summer. The hummingbirds are gone south, the acorns have fallen from the big oak tree by the back deck and we'll be covering the pool when the leaves start to fall....
JR received a phone call last night. A member of our congregation passed away and his sister requested that John do his funeral....it will be a small graveside service out in the country. John didn't know him.....he was an elderly man that had been shut in for years. It reminds me of a "country" funeral that John did this past summer. After a few brief remarks, JR had to climb aboard a small skiff as the son "poled" out to the middle of the pond to scatter his father's ashes.

Allie says that her brain is "french-fried"....
