Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 6:30 p.m. in "The City", where we have no alerts in the forecast and the 61° temperature is also our Real Feel temperature with a slight breeze out of the east @ seen mph. 

The low-temperature tonight will fall to 42° before sunrise tomorrow @ 7:41 a.m. and the daytime high will reach a very fall-like 61° once again under sunny skies. That's before sunset @ 7:26.51 p.m and an overnight low temperature of 49°.

Otherwise, we took a photo safari to the Grand Haven Township Historic Cemetery for some pictures of the markers there. Some may find this macabre, but we think it tells a lot about the history of the areas we visit or live near.

A great deal of thought went into these markers. 

A closeup of the matriarch and patriarch of the Hoecker family.

And of the marker for Albert. 

I found this marker fascinating, but its meaning is unclear to me. 

The family plot of the Japenga family. 

We believe that the mother died in childbirth.

As this is the marker for an infant son with only 1923 as a date.

There are many of these iron markers throughout the cemetery. 

On another sad note, the ashes from Sugar arrived this morning in a beautiful box. Mary and I cried once again both this morning and this afternoon when Mary made a special place on our bookshelves for Sugar. I somehow knew that the delivery of her remains would trigger us again, and I was right.

Our regular letter carrier, Dave, hand-delivered Sugar's remains, which required a signature. Dave knew what was in the package. I was still abed, so Mary went down and she signed and then came up so that we could cry once more. It is getting easier, but I miss Sugar so much.

Tomorrow, a bit of yard work, more ear and print reading, and more college football, as the Wolverines are at Iowa, the Spartans are home to face the Terrapins of Maryland, and the Huskies of NIU are on the road to face the Cardinals of Ball State.

That looks like a full day. Ciao.
