A day of celebration

Today my great uncle Al will be buried. He lived to be 100.5. There are plenty of memories of him being a jack of all trades: carpenter, baker, horticulturalist. He lived a full life. It is also my grandpa's 90th birthday. They broke the mold when he was born. He has been a farmer, contractor, playboy. A lifetime is a body of work filled with surprises, routine, and memories.
