434 – Going Home Again

Well, cleaning out my mom’s place on Saturday was something different. Going through drawers and finding old pictures of my dad and mom from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s was something. It took great strength to not just sit down and look at them and try to guess who else was in the pictures. But we had work to do. Throwing away things was very hard to do, after all, these were memories made from over 50 years of marriage and two children. Of course, there was a lot of stuff that really needed to be thrown away, but a lot of if, well, we’ll have to find somewhere for it all.

Other than that, it was a nice weekend. Dinner Friday night with my friends John and Brian was outstanding.

How was everyone else's weekend?

On to something funny:
