End of May 2021

The end of May included a reception held by Tom and Katy because it wasn't possible during the pandemic. It is nice that we are vaccinated and things are loosening up a bit. I laid out the stones for our patio rebuild after installing our water feature, the guys came, and now our deck/yard project is almost finished. The last day of the month was Memorial Day, which coincided with our 49th anniversary. We visited the cemeteries on Sunday before the actual day, and on the day, we hosted a family dinner for the SKT and DAT families in our newly upgraded back yard.

The Easter Cross has been rebuilt in this new location at Eastlawn, the 
cemetery where Annie's dad is buried -- I'm happy to 
see it standing again: childhood memory

Soelbergs, and one Hastings

We are off to Santa Fe for Anders' graduation and we will have house guests afterwards, so there will be more to follow in June. This, however, is all for now.
