Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 , This is wonderful! I'm thinking of doing something for my parents as well. Thinking of going with a tree as dad was such a gardener. I'm sure your parents are awfully proud and happy. Courage OT - Mom's Park Bench Sooooo... Couldn't wait any longer... The memorial park bench dedicated to my parents has been in the park since November, but the Parks Dept. guy said they were going to upgrade the plaque since they weren't happy with it... I waited, and waited, before visiting - and couldn't wait any longer. So yes, a new plaque would be nicer (one that is more viewable - it's so teeny tiny - and the other park benches that were done by the neighbors vs. the city had better plaques - so I guess the plan is to upgrade to a plaque that looks more like those...) Anyhoo... I posted the bench & plaque in my photo album for anyone who is interested. And hopefully will post another sometime in the near future of the upgraded plaque.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yes, when my dad passed we had a beech tree planted in a different city park (private park where my folks used to live - Lin knows what I'm talking about since she met my mom years before Lewy... stayed in my mom's condo at the time since my mom had a B & B business.... never realizing we'd meet under these circumstances years later...) Then a friend of my mother's had another tree planted in her memory in FL. Although I must say that putting a park bench in front of the " dog run " at this park doesn't allow me to go and get much reflection done. Sat on the bench for the first time yesterday and my thoughts kept getting interrupted by barking dogs. LOL But it's appropriate nonetheless since mom was such a dog lover and used to bring her dogs to that dog run herself. And both parents loved the loud city life... > > , > > This is wonderful!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Yes it's in the Photos section on this board - my album is more than one page so you'll have to go to 'next page' to view... Or go to HOME (from left column) and it's the 2 NEW PHOTOS listed at top... > > , > > Did you mean you posted in the Yahoo photos? I went and looked and couldn't find it.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Instead of trying to explain the private park - here's a link to the park itself: http://tinyurl.com/22865c Only those residents whose homes connect to the park has access to the park... that's what makes it private... (if you look on page 4, my mom's name is mentioned b/c she left a stone bench there when she moved to new location...) PS - my parents had their 40th wedding anniversary held in the park... The neat thing.. when you're in the park it doesn't feel like you're in the city anymore... kind of magical... > > Hi , > > This is probably a very stupid question on my part but what is the difference between a public park and a private one in MA? Is this another American thing? Here in TO we only have public parks and anyone can go to them. Do people have to pay to go to the private park? > Oh , maybe your mom is still walking with her dogs on that dog run as you sit there? > Courage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi dear , I really liked the plaque. It is quite a tribute to your parents. Thank you for sharing such a lovely Award. Your parents were truly outstanding, and they have raised a daughter to be likewise. Love so much, Imogene > > > > Sooooo...
