i had a nice time at the picnic. a lot of good music
and interesting conversation. there was a ton of food.
the weather was beautiful. i made sure to put a lot of
sunblock on my nose (i burn easily!) and as you can see from
this photo, uncle buck was there!
now, for those of you that are regular followers of my little
blog, you recall the poems about uncle buck and sugar lake.
well, most of uncle buck went to sugar lake, but he was such a
sweet and crazy man that loved parties, especially family parties
with pudd'n boy, randy and everyone, that pudd'n kept a little of buck.
i might have mentioned buck was at halloween with all of us
as we handed out candy. well, buck came out for the picnic.
funny, as i wrote, i had a very hard time dealing with tending
to the graves the other day, but having buck come out now and then
is sort of comforting and not macabre in the least. it's a tribute to the man
he was. somewhere buck is smiling and saying,
"go ahead, have another piece of cake! " s

Love it: "Most of uncle buck went to sugar lake" . Like good wine goes to the head. Laters ... Q
uncle buck sat on my lap for a bit because we ran out of chairs round the fire. pudd'n said he knew uncle buck liked that!
uncle buck was a hoot. we all miss him very much.
