No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Nice allusion, shrift

If it helps, 8 cups=4 pints=2 qts= half gallon. Approx 2 liters.

I love the box reuse and luggage tags Beverly!

I am so boring with my plain old plot in an ordinary cemetery. It’s nice to lie down on it occasionally, though.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I am glad to think of JZ haunting the house: The smell of ink, and a tiny chill the hair on my neck.

I am also stuck on the unfairness of it all.

I love the idea of Jacqueline's urn sitting on that desk. It's just so perfectly her. And the desk story definitely hits differently reading it again now.

ltc is packed and ready to go for the first day of 2nd grade tomorrow. Hopefully she'll get enough sleep tonight.

I've found a list of local-ish places that do green burials. I need to actually call them and set up a tour and ask about pricing and suchlike, but at least it's the beginnings of a plan.

Javachik, neither do I! I had a teeny baby a second ago!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Susan, my father-in-law is in the one in Langley. Nice spot, but I would anticipate they would be out of room before all that much longer.

If it helps, 8 cups=4 pints=2 qts= half gallon. Approx 2 liters.

So basically, it just needs to be able to hold a large bottle of Coke.

Good to know--thanks!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My father recently mentioned that he would like to be buried in a military cemetery. First any of us have heard that, so I’ve told my mother to start gathering the papers needed into a folder so it will all be five since I know it can be a chore.

Interesting about the size for urns. My friend L was a trained chef and had mentioned to me once in her last months that she liked the idea of being in one of her China teapots, but that wouldn’t be big enough I now realize. Maybe urn shopping can be something I do with her husband this weekend.

Msbelle, you know you can ping me for volumes too (she probably has something dear of size in her kitchen. Chefs do.)
