- Here are some of Eleanor's flowers.
- Just up the street a bit, this - I wonder if DD and BB are still an item?
- This creature and her identical, but earless, partner, startled me the first time I took this early morning stroll. Viewing them from down the street, I thought they were real. :)
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Who was Eleanor Monroe? Do you know. I think a bench where people can sit and admire the view is a lovely memorial.
Lovely post. Thank you.
I Like those marble n granite benches- there are alot in the village here.
Sometimes Memorial blossoms are the best around- Pretty color combination. I hope the tiny seedlings in my kitchen make it to that point.
DD n BB could be Donald Duck n Boo-Boo! Hmmm...
Real Deer would run away tho!
The Elephant's Child -
You can just see it on the top of the bench - she was the School Secretary from 1971-1991.
Thank you and I agree. I see memorial benches a lot. This one is inside a pergola surrounded by flowers near the entrance to the school.

I thought Donald Duck's girlfriend was Daisy Duck. :)
Please learn and share the story of Eleanor Monroe. Her name alone makes her interesting.
We make sure there is something special placed in every bit of concrete we pour. Grandkid's hand prints, or initials, or whatever. Someday people will ponder them.
I love to think of 20 years worth of students honoring their school secretary.
Very interesting walk - your brought to mind that my mom was school secretary for years as well. Thanks. sandie
Granny Annie -
I'll ask my friend Alice if she knows the story - she teaches there.
How great that you do that. Immortalized in concrete.
Susan -
Isn't that wonderful? I detour from walk to do the semi-circle in front of the school when I walk on Sunday mornings. That is a peaceful spot, but I always imagine how busy it is during the school week.
Sandie -
That's neat.
I did have a good weekend! Thank you!! Sweet little deer, Lynn. I would like to donate a bench for people to sit on! Maybe with a trellis over it.
:-)
Interesting things to find on a walk! Now I'm also wondering if DD and BB are together.
dear lynn,
what a beautiful and interesting walk!
i love those marble and granite benches, and what an adorable deer!
thanks so much for sharing this lovely post.

This one indeed had a trellis over it. There's a rhododendron garden in Hiawassee, Georgia that has memorial benches - I think that's a great idea.
Riot Kitty -
Or if they are adults now and ever walk over that spot and smile remembering...
Betty -
Thank you for coming by - I remember you weren't feeling well for a bit.

I wonder what the statistics are on how many people who carve their name into cement actually stay together...
It's so nice that they put up a bench in Eleanor's honor. Twenty years is a long time.
When I first scrolled down to the photo of the deer, it had me fooled too. :-)
I thought that fawn was real too.
Eleanor's flowers are so dashingly fun and pretty! What a great time of year for floral exuberance.
Nice share.

Eleanor, gee I think you're swell, and you really do me well, you're my pride and joy etcetera...

Joanne -
I don't know - that might make a good study. :)
Mama Zen -
That is nice they did that.
Sparkling Red -
Those people have a lot of kitschy stuff - these are up at the top of their driveway with spotlights behind them!
Jannie -
Floral exuberance - I like that. :)
