Over the weekend a family
member pointed out that I hadn't posted anything on my Blog for a
couple of weeks...... it's been a mixed bag.
Yesterday (Monday May 6th)
the Berkeley Springs Garden Club planted a Pin Oak in honor of my
Mother. It was quite a moving ceremony; stories abounded about good
times, wonderful recipes and white wine. It became apparent that good
times and service to the community often went hand in hand. I am glad
my mother enjoyed the company of these fine women. At the end of the
ceremony the youngest of Mom's Grand Children, Alana, would be the
first to water the tree.
Many years from now I hope
the day will come when Alana shall bring her grandchildren to this
spot. If she does she will find a tree, standing tall, home for
generations of birds, witness to couples strolling arm in arm and
multitudes of young children splashing in the summer pool. Breezes
will sway her leaves and she will sing, it will be a song as
beautiful as my mother's life.
As for me .... well I'm a
work in process .... but I have started running again.
Mike
