Bye-Bye, Papa Harold!

 Papa Harold and Mama Sue are finally reunited!

I don't think I have ever seen Daddy in a suit and tie!


I KNOW that no one has ever seen ME in one!

Not too comfortable... but I have to admit, I did look pretty suave!


Just a little dapper smile...


 STOP with the pictures already!

A Zashi's-Eye-View of the family...


The diggers in the background were distracting me...


Uncle Po and Danni.  (She hated her shoes as much as I did!)


My only GREAT grandparent, Papa Harold, passed away in his sleep on April 12.  He was 89 years old (almost 90!!) and had lived a great life.  Since he served as a Marine in World War II, he had a military memorial service at Riverside National Cemetery.  Although I protested about wearing a suit and dress-up shoes, I was curious about the bugle player (he played Taps on the hill overlooking the memorial service), and I liked watching the uniformed Marines fold Papa Harold's flag.  I couldn't sit still during the service.... there were tractors digging in the grass nearby...  so I HAD to watch!  :)  (Something tells me that Papa Harold wouldn't mind!)  I am lucky to have another guardian angel watching over me.... but will miss Papa Harold!!
