School has let out for the summer.  Graduation ceremonies have ended and summer has begun.  I am so looking forward to taking a break and getting some rest.  While I’m on the topic of graduations, I do want to say congratulations to my nephew Patrick DOWDY, and to my cousin’s son, Michael LARKIN, on their graduations this weekend.  Best wishes, Patrick and Michael!

2018 graduate Patrick DOWDY.  I wish we’d been closer so we could have gotten a better photo.

2018 graduate Michael LARKIN.  I was in a much better spot for Michael’s photo.
This week I’m going to re-post the blogs about John BATES so that next week I can continue the story of his final years and let you know what actually happened to him and where he is buried.  I’ve been wanting to finish John’s story for a while now.

I hope your week is restful.
 
Until next time,
