Well, you've read the notes, the notes had an upside and a downside, and now it is time for you to post until the upside/downside cows come home.

It rained here most of the day yesterday.

It is raining now.

It is supposed to rain most of today.

I am not complaining.

It's raining right now in Tumwater, Washington. Not a lot, but enough that I can hear it.

Good morning, all!

I will shortly attempt another trek to Toyland this morning. I hope this one is successful.

I have no other news at the moment. I've been thinking about Memorial Days from my childhood: my mother and her sisters ravaging the peonies growing outside our dining room and kitchen windows and filling urns with them and flowers from her sisters' gardens on the day before. Then the Memorial Day parade down Main Street followed by a long day at Woodside Cemetery where my mother, father, sisters and their spouses decorated the graves of my grandparents and other deceased family members. It all seems another time, another life, and another world.

Bruce if you ordered eggs out instead of making them at home, they might have had butter on them and been on the greasy side.

Some of that still goes on here, DR Elmore. Middletown's parade now goes down Verity Parkway and will probably take place in the rain today. Our nieces Jennifer and Lauren both visited Woodside over the weekend, paying respects to their father and grandparents.

This afternoon Richard and I will venture to Mariemont for a carillon concert. We have 2 friends named Richard who plan and perform this delightful summer series.

It sure does.

Even the way you told that makes it seem ephemeral, like a memory play.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** May 25, 2015, 06:28:40 AM »

Or like the opening narration of The Magnificent Ambersons.

Or a great old Twilight Zone episode.

That is great, DR Ginny! We have a substantial carillon not too many blocks from our home, which also features a regular concert series.

Mariemont is a lovely community on the east side of Cincinnati. I wouldn't mind living there, especially within walking distance of the square. Of course, the house we have here in Middletown would be out of our price range there...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #28 on:** May 25, 2015, 07:16:24 AM »

Agree about Mariemont. And yes, it has got to be very expensive.

And just a little bit east of there, I can't believe what an obviously wealthy community Terrace Park is now. That's where my parents had a small house in the 1970s and early 1980s. The village is as lovely as ever, but the extravagantly redone houses -- while mostly in very good taste, which I think is unusual -- are a sign that it is a completely different world now.
