I started thinking "I can't believe I gave him so much grief about reading that book in school! That's fantastic!" but of course, it was revised by you. <br />We always place Cheetos on my brother's grave.

I'd like to think it would be their first time to have champagne.

It's been a long time since I've read it, but I remember her well. That bit further down did sound vaguely familiar;o)<br /><br />What a great find in those circus peanuts! Of course you had to take pictures and write about it. Now you have this little snapshot saved and maybe someday you'll write the story behind those circus peanuts.<br /><br />I have seen cans of beer left on gravestones, and I've seen rocks. I think it's a Jewish tradition to leave small "stones of rememberance." I like the stones. Some other beautiful or interesting thing from nature would be nice, too. No silk flowers or flags for me, thanks anyway. But you said snacks, and I guess circus peanuts would be about as good as any. I do love circus peanuts.<br /><br />Thanks for the link, btw. Looks like an interesting blog!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.com
