This afternoon my father and I drove to Waverly, Alabama to put some flowers on her grave. It was the first time I had seen the headstone since my father had it placed. It was a quiet ride there and an even more quiet ride back. I told my father I wanted to be cremated and my remains buried next to him and mom.
Life Marches Ever Onwards...
I actually arrived at 8:45 PM and got started early. It is going to be another breakfast food themed week this week. I bought a thick cut brand of bacon straying away from my "Black Label" brand and we will see how it fares. It will probably take forever to fry to the crispiness I like.
The same cashier I got last week said, "Yes, you like eggs." She had remarked on my egg purchase last week as well.
"Do you think it is going to snow?" the cashier then asked me as we were checking out.
"Oh, it is going to snow. Just how much is the question," I replied to her. "Watch us just get a dusting."
"That would be fine with me!" she exclaimed. "I don't want any snow!"
I was surprised there wasn't a mad dash to the Piggly Wiggly tonight by the citizenry to buy milk and bread. I got my usual four gallons of whole milk and two loaves of Nature's Own honey wheat bread.
I ended up spending $75 dollars tonigiht which was within acceptable parameters.

May your mother's memory always be a blessing.
Such a lovely lady. She was your salvation.
I still miss my Dad and don't think that will ever change but it's been ten years now and the overwhelming sadness has for the most part left me. My Dad was my champion and my biggest fan he believed in me in ways no one else does...I think your Mom was the same for you. Hugs and thoughts.
Hope your weather is better than ours....having a "snow" day not going anywhere today and maybe not tomorrow morning either. Car was completely covered in ice earlier and is worse now with the roads getting worse by the minute.
I'm sorry your mom passed on..................it was obvious how much you guys loved each other............i bet you miss her very much!
I like when you write about her. i think it's sweet.
What a tough time, the anniversary of the death of your mother. You will be in my thoughts for several days. Your mom did do a lot and stayed on top of all the family business--the appointments, the medications, and the needs of everyone. This morning it was 9 degrees in Denver, Colorado. It may have been colder before I looked. We had rain that froze and then snow yesterday. There were lots of accidents. The best thing to do when there is not nice weather is to stay home, dress in layers, and drink warm beverages.
