My Burial Place

I guess I will be buried next to David when I die. He said, there's a space next to his tomb.

St. Paul's Lutheran Church Celebrates 200th Anniversary

David's church in Dansville will celebrate its 200th anniversary. The church still has the podium used by Barton in her American Red Cross address. Here is the float the church used for the town's Dogwood Festival.

David was so proud to have seen the float.

Where's That Duck?

We saw a duck in David's backyard today. We usually see them by the canal in Pittsford being fed by people or in parks around Rochester. We've seen a family of geese and turkeys crossing the street near we live, deer, a fox, woodchuck, rabbits, moles and other birds but it's the first time we saw a duck walking in the backyard. It was stolling like it was on a vacation. I hurriedly grabbed my camera to take a picture of it upclose but by the time I was at the area, he was nowhere to be found. Instead I found this rabbit munching grass (probably the same rabbit that ate David's tulips):

And here is the bike/walking trail behind David's house (the weeds haven't bloomed yet. I am to gather berries again this summer):

And flowers in bloom in his front yard.

David's Library Section

David is contemplating on will having a section in the Dansville Public Library named after him. I still don't know why he doesn't attach his distinctions after his name. He is afterall a school teacher and librarian for 38 years. He should sign: David W. Smith, MA, MLS.

Howdie, cowboy?

Yo, wassup, dude.

David enjoying the parade. I should convince him to run for mayor of Dansville because he knows everybody.

Look at those spikes on the wheels.

Beer, beer and more beer.

Can you tell me why this kid is driving the tractor?
