The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for July 18, 2013

And for some other people also.

Good Morning All

They are always stuffing their faces.

Evidently it didn’t hold much sentimental value or memories for someone. I can’t help but wonder if they just dumped the contents out in the motel waste can. Or was Burl already thinking about the future for his dearly beloved M-I-L, Ma?

Good morning, Mr. L. S.!

Why is the sun surprised?

LOL @ 13 roses in the urn.

Words fail me . . .

Some years ago, I ran into an acquaintance at a flea market, right after he’d bought what he thought was a tall vase.

While we were chatting, he peered into it, and very casually said "Oh, someone’s in here!’

So he strolled over to a nearby trash barrel, and knocked the contents out.

I was rather horrified…. but he just said “well, what was I supposed to do with him?”

Truthfullly, I don’t know.

That’s not MARLENE…. unless someone beat her up….. ? ! ?Morning Crustwoodians… it’s too early for me to comment… ! !

I guess the cartoon actor who normally plays Marlene is out sick. It looks like the guy who plays Dilbert is subbing.

Frankly, I’m shocked that Joy knew the word “funerary” AND used it correctly. Of course, there’s no telling how she pronounced it!

found it: street light on Tara… huh ;)

I don’t comment much, but I just wanna say you commenters make my day. Thanks for the laughs!

….and what a honeymoon it was, 14 flea markets in 3 states, 42 ’all you can eat joints" Motel 6, and best of all, no Ma! She had insisted on coming with on all their dates.

Well, my mother’s ashes are in my “Grand Daughter” garden (which has two statues of girls dancing) with a Bird of Paradise planted over her. Cuddles is taxidermied with freeze-dry technology and Fizroy’s ashes (that I brought back with me from Chicago last year) have a little brass box. I plan to get a really pretty urn-shaped container for my own (and have Cuddles cremated at the same time to mix with mine). I would not want her body to wind up at a garage sale because some future family did not know her.

I think the thing about an urn (or marker on a grave) is to have something physical to remember the person (whether the person is human or not). I would have chosen a yellow rose bush for my mother, but the other was suggestion of her best friend, who was also my God-mother (and matron of honor at my wedding).

My God-mother at my wedding and Cuddles in her present state The brass box has an epoxy image of Fitzroy on top but shiny does not photograph well.

they have too keep eating to maintain their (not so) fine feminine shape. quick some fast acting brain bleach I think I am going to lose my lunch…..

I just found an urn that I really like (did a search another day and was disappointed). I will send this to my daughter for her opinion (the boys will go along with whatever I choose). I wasn’t sure it would post as the URL does not end as a Jpeg!

DAZZ… I am lost here… (typical)…. is that URN for you and your bird….. ? ? ?
