Good morning CT,
Hope all is well. We are doing good, sure is hot and dry here. I visited with Maw yesterday and she said they thought I might be kidding about the date of the headstone, but I wasnt. The granite will not be in OH until sometime in mid August. I will be shipped to the US around July 30th. So I am guessing that it will be end of August or 1st of Sept for it to arrive in Crosbyton. I have shed many tears and have had many heated conversations with Mr Loos on this date. I have had two testimonials from his customers that say it will be worth the wait. I SURE HOPE SO. I plan on having a small service and dedication ceremony when it does finally get there. I have plans underway and if anyone has anything that they would like to add besides, all the YELLOW ROSES for Mikes and our dear loved ones graves, please let me know. I am going to try and get in touch with the Bag Piper, since Mike just loved this, I am going to have some words, music, and probably balloons to be released. I would love a dove but cant seem to find. If there is anything any of you guys would like to add or something special you know Mike loved please let me know. I am going to get stared next week, so that all will be ready. I have had to try real hard to wait to wait and wait. Yesterday was a hard day for me, just couldnt shake the tears and thoughts of Mike, thankfully Blair and Jay were able to let me talk and visit about him. Sometimes that helps so much.
My grandbabies are all just growing like I cant believe. Caden, is getting tall and slender and I see his Pops sometimes. Toby, is changing daily and sometimes the way he looks at me I see his
Great Aunt Donnas witty eyes. Kate is growing so very fast and her voice is very deep and gruff and I hear her Great great grandmothers Arties voice. It is so sweet to have these reminders of people I loved so very much to be carried on through the next generation.
I guess I will be working from Blairs house no later than August 11th. I am excited but also it is the end to another part of my life and is kinda sad. I think I will like it but change is always scary.
I will not be going to San Angelo, due to I dont get out in the sun much or play golf. I guess I need to learn, Mike could never get me to, so I probably wont do it now, but ya know I did learn that it does mean a lot to lots of my loved ones and is such a relaxation for them, so you guys go and have so much fun and comrodery together and know. I AM THERE IN MIND and hope it is a fun filled day of love and fun.
Love all you guys so much. Eletia
