Thanks for reading and for the suggestion....Jenna,<br /><br />Thanks for reading and for the suggestion. :)<br /><br />I was using "burying" figuratively, as in they're covering up Grandfather's crimes. I wanted to convey this as a family secret they've been concealing for some time--perhaps even when Grandfather was alive. <br /><br />Thanks again for taking the time to make a suggestion. I really appreciate the input!Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933355170869547421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093117644713466332.post-71286660892260858132013-08-11T19:10:02.952-04:002013-08-11T19:10:02.952-04:00Thanks much! :)Thanks much! :)Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933355170869547421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093117644713466332.post-31381938709490426962013-08-11T19:09:28.600-04:002013-08-11T19:09:28.600-04:00Grandfather is something all right. :)
