Memorial Day







The festival sure was fun! The bands last night were terrific & it was a good street party. My sore knee kept me sidelined, but I managed to hang until 9:30, which for me is pretty good as many of you know. Old dead Fred never has been a late hanger. Also had a long, leisurely lunch with new friend Tilden yesterday, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The conversation was very stimulating once again
It started raining about midnight & just stopped a little while ago...about a twelve hour stretch. It made for some sound sleeping & recovery time for a sore knee. A good rest.
Rain took on a slightly different meaning when I started to grieve for LaVerne. It's father sky shedding tears to clean everything & keep life flowing. The tears are life giving. A fitting symbol for Memorial Day, too. The sun is trying to peek out & all is well in the real world.
Stickers. As you can see, I've started a collection & add to it at every opportunity. So now along with caps & T-shirts, I have another item of interest to stimulate my memory. Found an interesting place for the kokopelli sticker.
My friend Jan asked if I was planning to visit Raleigh & see folks. I really hadn't considered it, but I will. I do miss my Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill friends, that's for sure. Perhaps on my way to Charleston in September?
Time to ride. The scooter calls!
