Richard's Ramblings: January 2009
http://rsdickson.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts on miscellaneous topics as they occur to me. Saturday, January 03, 2009. Today, December 31, 2008, the last day of the last year of her life, I visited the cemetery. Technically not the first time, but the first time since our trip up for her burial. In the fall, the gently sloping hills of Grandview do reveal a grand view of beautifully colored trees and the mountains just over the hilltop. As I said earlier, it is a beautiful cemetery. One of the reasons that I had delayed coming back was the ...

Richard's Ramblings: December 2008
http://rsdickson.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thoughts on miscellaneous topics as they occur to me. Monday, December 29, 2008. After the Christmas Eve service at First Baptist Church, Jefferson, Georgia. Abby and I drove down to my parent's house for Christmas. (For thoughts on the Christmas Eve service see http:/ musicmusings-rsd.blogspot.com/2008/12/sharing-light.html. I was ready, but we were still later than planned, although still in plenty of time for the meal. In fact, my brother-in-law had yet to put the turkey in to fry when we arrived.

Richard's Ramblings: September 2012
http://rsdickson.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts on miscellaneous topics as they occur to me. Sunday, September 30, 2012. Treading an older path. The last day of September, 2012. Also, a few days into my vacation. For many years Donna and I would travel to Virginia for our fall vacation. In fact, since her death, I have continued going, usually in October - it's such a wonderful time of year for that part of the country with the fall leaves. In planning my vacation this year, I had actually anticipated going up. Then, another solution occurred...

Richard's Ramblings: November 2008
http://rsdickson.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Thoughts on miscellaneous topics as they occur to me. Friday, November 28, 2008. Well, the first of the major events without Donna has passed. Originally, I had planned to be in Virginia for Thanksgiving. The cemetery had indicated that the grave marker would be in place in 6-8 weeks - I thought after the burial. However, I discovered that they meant after payment. So, hopefully, there will be a marker by Christmas - perhaps. Now, there remains her birthday (December 18), Christmas, our anniversary (Janu...

Richard's Ramblings: I Made It
http://rsdickson.blogspot.com/2012/10/i-made-it.html
Thoughts on miscellaneous topics as they occur to me. Monday, October 01, 2012. I waited almost too late, but I made it. It was beginning to get dark and it's been drizzling and raining most of the day. The vines and underbrush had grown up and it was a bit difficult to recognize the exact spot. Fortunately, the grass at the edge of the road had been mown so I didn't have to deal with that. But, with a little searching, there it was - the little white cross I nailed to the tree on the first anniversary.

Richard's Ramblings: October 2010
http://rsdickson.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts on miscellaneous topics as they occur to me. Friday, October 01, 2010. She was not there, but I was. 11:30 am, the time on her death certificate, two years ago on October 1, 2008. Because of a wedding in the family, I was able to visit the cemetery in Bluefield, VA, on this anniversary of her death. Before arriving, I was not sure what my emotions, my thoughts, would be. But, here I was. Then, the new flowers came out - her mom's first, then her's. It occurred to me that what I was doing wasn't ...

Richard's Ramblings: January 2011
http://rsdickson.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts on miscellaneous topics as they occur to me. Monday, January 24, 2011. To Live with Death in Mind. This morning as I backed out of my drive and drove away to work, I glanced over at my house. My mind jumped instantly to the thought, "I wonder what Donna was thinking about as she drove away from the house on that last day." (For those who do not know me or who have not read this blog before, my late wife, Donna, died in a automobile accident in 2008.). Orwould we notice the beauty around us?
