• Friday-What'sUP November 1 - 03:06 am

One season has ended - another season begins, so goes our life cycles, too. As people enter our lives, others depart from us. Our tradition here at Pasty Central is to reserve this day to remember those who have gone on before. This month we note:

Thank you for remembering Aaron Smith. Though I'd never met the man he is the father of my nieces two boys. He certainly struggled with amny health issues in his short life but I know he touched many with his courage.

With much love for Aunt Virginia Swain and Uncle Bill Swain, who went home to be with our Lord a few years apart in October. We still miss you!

Remembering my classmate, Marty Drake. He was far too young to leave us already.

Also remembering my father-in-law, who passed away in October of 2002. We think of him often. He was a fine man.

Remembering two of my cousins who left this world way to soon. Sherry Klemett who passed away 2 years ago on the 16th and her brother Mike Klemett who passed away 1 year ago on October 28th. I often think of them and the love they brought to so many people.

Mark "Trail" Locke, 9/13/56 - 10/17/08, Happy Trails! You will be missed!

In memory of my sister, Kay Golightly, who had only lived in the U.P. for a year and a half. She LOVED it here, with all the flora and fauna. She loved her neighbors, especially the dominoes gals, and all the people at church. You all made a huge difference in her life. Thank you all!

Thought n Prayers go out to the Scherbath family.

In memory of my Dad, Charlie Markham Sr., who passed away October 13, 2008 at age 89. Rest in peace Dad.

Remembering my Dad John Axel Carlson, hey Dad we're up in Lake Forest having dinner with Mom, your two Great grandchildren are playing in the front room by your chair. Wishing you were still in it Dad.

Mom and Dad are Together and Comforting each other... and through my memories of them and my sister Jeanne's dragonfly story they are comforting me as well. I feel the loss, with both my parents gone now, but I know my strength with return with each passing day and each passing season. He died on Sept 28th, two weeks before what would have been his 90th birthday...October 15th was the day of my Dad, Robert E. Houle's birth, and on that day each year, he planted his blue ribbon garlic. Even in his last year of life, he won another first prize for his garlic at the Houghton County fair. He taught me to plant the seeds and the cloves, each fall on Oct. 15, 6" deep, 6" apart in rows spaced 6" away from each other. Then they must be covered with hay, not straw, because worms eat hay. Water them and let them grow thru till spring... In late summer when the seed tops roll over you can cut them and tie them to dry. Then harvest the garlic and tie them to dry... He told me he "didn't want flowers on his grave, your Ma loves flowers, but all you need to do is bring me some garlic and some brookies and I'll be happy." He was featured here one day 'watchiing his garlic grow'... Here is a picture of his garlic from this summer. Be well, Lori

And here he is from a summer day past:

and yet one more pic of my Dad and his garlic:

Nice photos, Lori. Your father was the garlic man. Mine is the
blueberry man. Special guys.
