Family Tradition




A noble tradition probably born of necessity that I hadn't experienced until I became a part of Kay's extended family. As a last labor of love and respect, the male family members dig the final resting place and build a wooden vault to place the casket in. Immediately following the services, the grave is covered over, all work is done by hand. This grave was especially difficult and took them eight hours to dig due to the long dry spell that we have been having. The heavy clay soil located in the hills of Sicily Island was compacted and took pick axes to penetrate. Personally, I have only had to assist with one grave digging for Kay's younger brother who passed away when Darrell was seven.

PRIMITIVE




cave & rock drawings

We have figured out that the cave & rock drawings found around the world that has perplexed mankind for centuries is nothing more than child's art.
Here, as evidence, is a drawing involving many legends and myths. It appears to tell us the story of a great fishing expedition, with a catch so big as to need multiple casts, only the disturbance has conjured up an even greater beast from the deep that is going to swallow up both man and his great fish. We call this mammoth whale....Jonah. (You may notice that the mans head is covered, prehaps as a symbol of protection).
Tale as told by gramps, an old fart, and illustrated by cody to befuddle the wise.
