Drove out to Greeley cemetary to visit Dad & Mom C and David. Hard to believe dad has been gone 30 yrs, mom 7, and David almost 3. Drove past the home place. It is being well taken care of by the Palmers. The cottonwood is gone, but its memories remain.
The old St Joseph’s Church still supports its beautiful stain glass windows. I think of dad sitting under the Kateri window. He was her advocate long before she attained sainthood. I wonder how she got a window at St. Joe’s before she was a Saint. It is now the Greeley Community Church. I often wonder how they explain the “pagan windows” to their congregation.
Grilling is on the agenda for our supper. Pork steaks and a salad seem to be the best way to round out this day.
It has been good for us, this vacation. It has been good.
