Mountains and Bears...

Praying that she finds all here old friends and family up above.

Thanks, all y'all...

It was a nice service.  A couple of young fellas from P.F. and Mavis's church (that they founded) came and played a trumpet duet at the graveside, and both pastors came and spoke a few words.

The closest relatives were all grandchildren, and I made all the older folks sit down in the chairs where we were supposed to.
Just didn't seem right sitting down when we didn't need to.

Spent some time by myself just driving around town.  The "Norman Rockwell" images of where I grew up (near my old home) have been replaced with unkept lawns, 2nd hand shops, and check cashing enterprises.  On the bright side, it's still a wonderful town, and lots of nice "new" things are happening.  I reckon it's true that "you can't go home".  Everything changes.

The old Lowertown district has really been revitalized, and become quite the tourist attraction (due, in no small part, to KyNola -- good job, buddy!).

Traffic was very heavy because it was "Quilter's Week" - Thousands of folks come from all over the world to Paducah, KY for the Quilt festival.

Kinda fittin', I reckon...  I have two quilts that Mavis stitched by hand for me.
Anyhow, Mavis was a pistol. 
Awrighten.

It's all good.  She's up there with P.F. and all those little winged baby fiddlers and streets of gold and such...
I'm stuck here with you and Squirt and KyNola and crazy turtles and such.
Awrighten.

Geez, sounds like you "almost" have it as good. ;D
