Memorial Day dawned rainy and cold this year and there were no flowers, so not everyone made the traditional visit to the cemetery. All the SKT and DAT cousins gathered at our house for lunch and visiting. This evening, at William's request we had a good old slide show. It was a very nice day and actually ended up being quite beautiful in spite of a wintry start.

The snow came half way down below the Y

I looked like a Yorkshire farmer

This is an old favorite and still elicits the same comments

Maren, we even got to your birth!
We missed the Hastings, Youngs, and Auntie Katy, but we will see you all together in just a few weeks.
That's all for now.

P.S. I am glad I got the slides digitized because the old ones are really starting to degrade.

Oh fer fun! Glad the diehards did the cemetary. And what fun to have an old fashioned slide show!
Much fun! I can't believe all the snow. I heard one resort wants to stay open for the 4th of July. If only I could be enjoying that!
I do love your slide shows. It's been quite some time since I've seen one though. I almost didn't recognize you with your new "Yorkshire farmer" look.
Looks like a fun day regardless of the weather! Sorry to always miss Will and Jamie! Glad you got to my birth, now, if only that happened while I was there...
