I can't believe it is
OCTOBER
already!
Can you?
I stole this graphic from a friend...
shhhhhhh...
Anyway,
I am doing a bit of
CATCH UP
today after not much
sleep for the last few days.
As sad as it was
the funeral for our friend, Ken, yesterday
was heartwarming.
So many people that turned out to pay
their last respects.
Amazing!!!
The little country church was full with
standing room only.
He was an wonderful man
and his absence will leave a
hole that will not be easily filled.
So-
Back tomorrow with my regular nonsense.
And for your smile today...
Does this prove that
"all those that wander are not lost"?
hmmmm...
Looks like MyHero tossed the
PICNIC TABLE
out of the way trying to find his way home.
ps.. I did NOT drive off and leave him there.
~Have a Happy October 1st~
Happy October,

I feel so bad for ones left behind, he sounds like such a great guy, must have been a hard trip for you, beautiful photos today, is that your husband walking a way, you didn't make him walk home did you, lol, I'm getting the new voice activated program soon, I'm going to be so high tech it won't even be funny, will it will be funny speaking into the computer, I must watch what I say!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy October to you Diana. I am glad that Ken's funeral was one of tribute to him. That helps the family so much. I find that the lonely time comes for people after the funeral and company have gone. It's quiet and then you truly grieve. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI love the visual of the gathering in the little church...all there to share their love of your dear friend.
ReplyDeletexxx, T.
So glad to you're back. Funny picture of your honey wandering amongst the dilapidated picnic table... hmmmm, and you say you didn't drop him off there?? You weren't dumpter diving and making him go get the wood from that table? See how rumors start?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that there were some happy moments in such a sad time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its October. My favorite month. My son turns 40 today. Seems impossible.
You may be right, he may be looking for a way home,
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you were able to attend Ken's funeral. I am sure his wife really appreciated you being there. What happened to the table? Did your Hero get mad and kick it to the creek?
ReplyDeleteRest up dear friend and slow down.
Hugs,
Mary
Happy October 1st to you too! I sure hope we cool down below the 90's during this month. The a/c has been running strong since March. :) I'm still praying for Ken's family. God bless them. Love the funny pic of your Hero!!
ReplyDeleteA month filled with crisp air and Autumn joy I wish for you Diana. Rest up and thanks for sharing the visual of Ken's funeral, I'm sure he smiled down on everyone. Funny photo of your Hero.
ReplyDeletePumpkin kisses!
That was a hard trip for you to make, Diana. I continue to have Ken's family in my thoughts and prayers. Here's hoping the new month ahead has many unexpected pleasures awaiting you! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteI know it's only October but as quickly as this year has flown by, I'm already dreading next summer :( Where does the time go? Have a super October 1 and go back and get that guy you left :) Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Diana! I said a prayer for your friend's family.
ReplyDeleteWe don't take enough time to wander any more. Looks like your hubby is enjoying his quiet time.
ReplyDeleteWhy does he look like he's sulking, Diana?? Are you sure you didn't just drop him off somewhere and take off? : )
ReplyDeleteI'm remembering your friend and his family in prayer. Such a loss for that dear family. You mustn't let him roam around like that!! He could get lost and then what would you do? LOL
ReplyDeleteJudy

ReplyDeleteSad time..so nice of you to be there..Time for you to rest a little..Happy October..
ReplyDeleteou make the sun shine even in the evening. You are a delight. But aside from THAT, loved seeing your hero walking off into the nether lands..ne'er to be seen again. Heehee.

So is mine, but yours is in a different way,
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall my friend. I think it's been a hard summer for so many...time to embrace the change of seasons! Have a wonderful week! Sweet hugs, Diane

Hi Diana, It will be hard for your friend's family, but he doesn't have to suffer any more. God will be there for them. October is a special month for us considering we will be married 51 years the 19th. The weather has been beautiful for the most part. My favorite time of the year when the trees turn to their beautiful colors. Have a wonderful day. Hugs and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend.
