So here we are -- June 22, 2008, four of us siblings together, probably for the last time (Mark couldn't make it), up at Paul & Cathy's land in Isanti Co, where in the middle of a stone-encircled area overlooking the lake, inside a glass urn inside a wooden box buried under a foot or two of earth, most of Mom's ashes are buried.

Happy 80th Birthday Mom !

	Tristin catching frogs.
	Paul eating Tom's beef jerky.
	Hey Tom!
	Paul & Cathy.
	Spot where Mom's ashes lay.
	Paul inscribed this cross with an "E" for Elizabeth.
	Entrance into the rock-enclosed area where Mom's ashes lay.
	Cathy & Paul.
	The barn & workshops.
	Dark in here.
	From inside looking at Kelly.
	What a tremendous amount of labor went into this place.
	. . . Tristin didn't come along because he wanted to swing -- so I went with him down to the lake instead of touring Paul's workshop --
	Tristin happily swinging.
	"Awright!"
	A happy 11 year-old.
	Having a grand time.
	Tristin respectfully saying "Okay" he'll be up at the barn in a minute . . .
	. . . so I left him swinging & returned to the tour.
	Evidence of Paul's labors everywhere.
	Into the woodshop.
	Ground-level shop where Paul crafts his spoons (he had shown me the various sanders & grinders earlier).
	Stairways ascending up, photo turned sideways just for fun.
	Heading up the stairs looking back down.
	Cathy next to a pile of spoons; Paul said these took him about 10 days.
	Mike, Paul, Tom.
	Poking around outside.
