GLOOMY November first

ingrid @ridingbet (66854) • Philippines 1 Nov 18

It has always been an observation that November 1st is gloomy day, that it is about to rain. Maybe because the skies shed tears for the departed people? I don’t know, but when the day is sunny and there are no clouds in the...

Do you visit graveyards when not attending funerals?

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 6 Sep 15

We visited the graves of family members, with special thoughts of those who has served in the armed forces. Our family did not lose any lives in combat in the past several generations. And I would imagine this is rare. I was...
