I posted the link above! You don't have to commit to those you can decide on anything you want. The link is just for fun and maybe to guide you in a decision.

Irene (irena47) | 53 comments Interesting...Plan Your Epitaph Day during National Humor Month! I like them short and to the point:

"Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!" - Virginia Woolf, The Waves. Chosen by husband Leonard for her epitaph.

They all can work. With Spring, I would include anything related to Spring such as flowers, colors, etc... It could be the authors name (ie last name Spring) Spring can be in the title. Use your imagination! There are no real rules here. It is all to be fun!!

Babs | 258 comments May I ask, is this a permanent move? I understand your sentiments...as a displaced Long Islander...I know the Rockaways can be wonderful in the summer.

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
Well, it is in a way. It is a way for us to save money and then we are hoping to come back and buy a house or something. But we will prob live in the city from 2-5 years depending on how much we can save.


message 39: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer (Misskitty1026) | 105 comments i know it was hard for me to leave the rock too but you have family and friends there for the weekends!!


message 40: by Donna, The Pusher (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
I know!! But at least you went to a HOUSE! I am going to something a lot smaller than what I have now but I can save my money to get a house later on.
