We come to another closing day of my home faire. That day also is Memorial Day. The two factors combined always adds up to something special. There is an anxiousness that comes from knowing this is the final hours for the year that translates into goofy frenetic fun. But Scarby always takes time to celebrate the holiday. And they do it with true honor and dignity for all the pople who are or were in military service. The high point being inclusion of vets in the parade adorned with yellow sashes. It's something I never get tired of seeing.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

Scotts serenading their love & appreciation	Lord Thomas Manners, Earl of Rutland, supplicating himself before the Queen	A special Scandinavian envoy, Gueber	With a rather descriptive letter of introduction
And a rather descriptive gift	Gueber Lube	More bestowing	It never ends
Joe the rose seller declaring his feelings	But she really doesn't want to encourage him		The sword was 1 of many gifts
When smoke gets in your eyes	More living tinkergnome art	Caught the final show of the season of Darren Collins	The standard 3 balls
