Evening everyone!

I think that is fantastic Lisa! We have something similar up on a hillside where my grandpa is at.

Yeah. I'm not sure you ever stop thinking about someone who was so important to you...you just get to the point to where you can think of them and smile, instead of cry. I still dream that he is alive and I ask him all of the questions I've been dying to ask him over the years.

Thanks Cris.

Nice Tranny pics. I got those while I was at work, and thought to myself that I'd rather be doing that then be at work.

The closing is scheduled for 1:30 tommorow afternoon. It was supposed to be today but there were a few things that had to be taken care of on the lenders end.

That is the most awesome memorial, you've done good.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of my dad, and he past in 93.

Steve, how is your father in law doing today?

Lisa, I was hoping I wouldn't be bugging you with sending those too you but you are the only girl I know who likes this stuff more than I do!

Thanks guys.

I go pick it up after work tomorrow, and I'll take a picture of it. Also I will take a ton of pics when I'm in Colorado, so I'll post a picture of the stone in its final resting place.

I wanted to do something permanent, so that people who go there long after I am gone will know he is there.

We spread him on a mountainside overlooking a large valley, out in the middle of hundreds of miles of National Forest. It will always be there.

Cris, glad you got it done. Was it the filter coming apart?

Lisa, that's awesome! I've never been there but Colorado is beautiful and I imagine that was the perfect place!

He's doing better, but still not able to eat, and probably won't be able to. He still has the pneumonia. But he's talking some too.
