old friends
The 2 cups and plate were brought back from Graden,
on a trip to Italy that he and Shirley were on -

Sadly, we noticed last week another dear friend

The above photo card was taken by Graden years

The above photo card was taken by Graden years
ago and is a mainstay on our fridge -
Many memories of course in the 4 yrs of busy-ness -
In a nutshell, he always came into the store
with a smile, and although hesitant at first,
became a daily reader of the New York Times -
which up until that point, had not entered the area.
He made us feel welcome and treated us like family -

Graden was one of the good ones!
Thanks for uploading such a nice post, and it makes the Aspen winter photo even more cherished. I think we better frame it!
I think you're right -
Think we still have the espresso cups he brought back from Italy too -
As we age, death seems to intrude more and more into our lives.
Eventually we are forced to take notice, to accept death's inevitability.
Hopefully you are enjoying your moments in the sun, Coffee, and a glass or two of wine with friends.
Remember, we will not pass this way again.
Cheers.
David - Hello to you and Thanks for the comment -
