Memorial Day in Granddad and Judith's backyard. That moment when Granddad starts to tell jokes. Ben winces, Mary looks incredulous.
MacDuff looks embarrassed.
I'm grateful for memories of times spent together in this place, times when we use to arrive from far away, and times when I've watched them walk ahead of me, making a the path from our house to theirs, past the apple tree, and Grace Bullock's roses, and waving at anyone driving by because they are family now too.
The last week of school followed. Caitlin and her good friend Ava enjoyed their end of the year field trip.
Mary and her friend Sage made green goo for the third grade sale.
Ben modeled his metals class creation.
