Goodbye Pop, You Will Be Missed

The Kinzer Family and friends gathered June 17 to celebrate the full life of Kenneth R. Kinzer, my grandfather. "Pop", as we called him, died in April and would have turned 97 on June 16 this year. Check out these pictures from the trip!

First one is a picture of Pop taken in 2006. I was so lucky to be able to see him on Illinois visits! Next up, and from left to right: little brother Mike, sister Kristen, Linda, me, and Dad after the service. Then two pictures from Dad's garden. The lovely row of lettuce is a heirloom lettuce from Italy. I'm hoping it will grow in Wyoming! Then a picture from Diana's yard, followed by Mom's yard filled with hostas and then her posing in those hostas! The next picture is my 101 year old Aunt Ione (Pop's sister) and her lovely daughter Carol. Then a few others thrown in for good measure! I had a great time over the long weekend touring gardens. It is a hot and humid place back there, but plants sure grow there!

Meanwhile, back on the home front, summer came. We are not going too flood to badly, so it looks at this point. There is garden work, yard work and horses needing to be ridden! Better get at it!!
