My Daisy Looks Like a Monster Flower



Oddness intrigues me

Just like people do

Trying to Hide ~ Memories Return to My Mind ~ Reunions

My husband's high school class is planning a reunion which may take place later in the Summer or early Fall. His class has a reunion every 5 years. My own high school class has not had a reunion in many years. I can only remember the 20th reunion of my class having taken place.  The talk of his reunion brought up a sad memory.

We lived only a few blocks from the cemetery so it was a short trip. We never worried about going through the cemetery alone.  A bypass for the Cuyahoga River now flows around the dam on Main Street in Kent to speed up the river to improve the water quality. The level of the river has been cut down drastically because of the bypass. Ripples of water now flow over rocks where the river once was deep. It was deep enough years ago so that you could not see the rocks on the bottom.  Back then the water rose up under the jutting ledge near the top of the large stone. It would sometimes be higher when there was heavy precipitation and flooding. There were sometimes white spray painted graffiti and other marks on th...
