Welcome back!

One of the things that we have learned about funerals, and burying a friend, is the rule concerning clothes. The body of the person being buried has to be covered with a regular set of clothes. I don’t know if babies would be required to have baby clothes or not, but it is something to think about.

Here where we live, men are required to wear pants, shirt, socks, and underwear. I can understand being concerned for the dignity of the person being buried. Woman being buried would be required to have pantyhose, bra, and underwear along with other apparel. It makes the job of funeral director more difficult. Considering that not everyone would ordinarily wear such things is not taken into account. I do not know who sets up these rules, but they are there. I hope that others do not have to learn the hard way about these things. It makes a bad time more difficult. Regular life does not prepare you for these things.

On Friday, the fourth, my husband went out to the nearby park to see what was going on. He and a friend walked down where there were venders of food, knick-knacks, souvenirs, crafts, and other items. It was hot outside (we live in Texas), the sun was shining, and there was a light breeze.

All I could think of was that he was wearing his cap. Some of his medicines make his body more sensitive to the sun and its effects. I couldn’t remember if he had a cowboy hat to wear, but figured that a cap was better than nothing. He later told me that there was someone down there selling straw cowboy hats for $20. He didn’t think that was a good price, so he didn’t buy one. I remember (a while ago) when you could go to a fair and buy a hat for a couple of bucks. Inflation has gotten to everything it seems.

The way I figure it, what type of hat you wear helps to show some of your personality. After all there are as many types of hats as there are people. I have tried a few myself, but when I looked in the mirror, all I could do was snicker. I am not a hat person myself, I looked like a doofus with it on. My husband has a collection of baseball caps with different sayings on them. Some of them are rather grungy and need to be washed. He changes which cap he wears each day, I guess according to how he feels that particular day. Amazing isn’t it. Each hat can show how a person feels, what their personality might be like (after all you wouldn’t wear something that you didn’t like), some of what they might believe. I know they have ink blot tests to get to understand a person, can you do the same with a hat?
