Stopped to see some friends
Hi all! I had to go to Edina today to renew my driver's license so I stopped to see a friend on the way home. It was really weird being there. The grave is much smaller than I thought it would be, his being pretty wealthy.
I said HI to Lillian (his wife), Blanche (her sister) Morris (Blanche's husband), Yiddy (Izzy's brother), Verna (Yiddy's wife) and the Shinks, Ann (Izzy's sister) and Sam (her hubs).
I didn't see Harry Bloom or the other sisters (Ethel and Mary).
