BUT, THE LOVE OF THEIR MOTHER WILL BOND US TOGETHER FOREVER

 GOODBYES ARE ALWAY SAD AND ESPECIALLY SO WHEN IT'S LIKELY ONE MAY NEVER SEE THESE PEOPLE AGAIN

Despite what looked like an overcast sky on Wednesday evening, I did head out to my walking spot. Stepping out of the car I was amazed at the ominous cloud formations which I somehow didn't notice while driving there.

I WAS SURPRISED BY THE OMINOUS LOOKING BUT BEAUTIFUL CLOUDS OVERHEAD

 KIND OF SCARY

 DESPITE THE CLOUD COVER OVERHEAD, I WAS ABLE TO GET A COUPLE OF LONG TELEPHOTO SHOTS OF THE SUNRISE, WHICH WAS JUST A SLIVER OF LIGHT ON THE DISTANT HORIZON 

Up a touch earlier on this latter August morn.  I knew Sabra and Rebecca would be returning earlier after spending the night at the Bayfield South Suites a few miles south of Bayfield on the Bluewater Highway.  Before they arrived, I had myself out for a country road walk followed by a short drive through the countryside.  It was a beautiful sunny morning with a few clouds and a slight warming north breeze.  Saw a few butterflies on my walk, but nothing like last week when they swirled around me.  I wish I had thought to take a video of that with my iPhone, which I had in my pocket.  Oh well, maybe next August.  

 A FEW PHOTOS IN OUR BACKYARD THIS AFTERNOON

Home again, I whipped myself up a two-egg omelet with onions, cheese, and chunks of ham.  Had I had some green peppers, I would have tossed them in too.  No, I have not tried adding peanut butter to my two-egg omelets.

 BEAN FIELDS ARE BEGINNING TO RIPEN

 ARRIVING AT MY WALKING SPOT THIS MORNING, I SAW THIS HAWK IN THE DISTANCE SITTING BESIDE A PATCH OF WHITE....WALKING OUT INTO THE FIELD, I SAW THE PATCH OF WHITE WAS A SEAGULL THAT THE HAWK HAD BROUGHT DOWN

Sabra and Rebecca rolled in about 12:30 and resumed their sad task in their Mom's room.  But, I must say, neither one of those two gals let that sadness interfere with the job that had to be done.  I helped out with little bits here and there when needed, but basically, I let Sabra and Rebecca make the decisions regarding the distribution of all of their Mom's things.  As the day began to wind down, they took a break and we all sat around the kitchen table reminiscing about their Mother.  We also had a second moment standing in Kelly's bedroom when we talked about Kelly, and I was able to bring them more memories of their Mother and what a good person she was.  There were some chuckles, and there were some tears.  And then.....they were finally done, and with Sabra's car fully loaded down, it was time to say goodbye.  I knew this would be a difficult time because the reality of the situation is that it was unlikely we would ever see each other again.  Our lives, for so long entwined with Kelly's, would now move on in other directions and interests, but the love of their Mother will bond us together forever.

AT THIS POINT, WEDNESDAY EVENING, THE GIRLS WERE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THEIR MOM'S STUFF

AFTER SAYING OUR GOODBYES, SABRA AND REBECCA HEAD OUT

 A FINAL WAVE AND THEY WERE GONE....AND, ANOTHER DOOR CLOSED BEHIND ME

SABRA DRIVING AND REBECCA IN THE PASSENGER SEAT

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The man was in no shape to drive, so he wisely left his car parked and walked home. As he was walking unsteadily along, he was stopped by a policeman. "What are you doing out here at 2 A.M.?" asked the officer. "I'm going to a lecture." The man said. "And who is going to give a lecture at this hour?" the cop asked. "My wife," said the man.

I'm at my boss's funeral, kneeling and whispering at the coffin..."Who's thinking outside the box now, Gary?"

My friend bought a bus pass to a nude beach. It turned out to be a ticket to no wear.

I was in a couple’s home trying to fix their Internet connection. The husband called out to his wife in the other room for the computer password. “Start with a capital S, then 123,” she shouted back. We tried S123 several times, but it didn’t work. So we called the wife in. As she input the password, she muttered, “I really don’t know what’s so difficult about typing Start123.”

An old-time pastor was riding furiously down the road, hurrying to get to church on time. Suddenly, his horse stumbled and threw him to the ground. Lying in the dirt, his body wracked with pain, the pastor called out, “All you angels in heaven, help me get up on my horse!”With extraordinary strength, he leaped onto the horse’s back—and fell off the other side. From the ground again, he called out, “All right, just half of you angels this time!”
