Endings

What a crazy month.  Last weekend we held the memorial for my father, and just before, on that Tuesday, we lost *his* father.  Sadly, I couldn't make it down in time for his funeral.  Happily, my fathers memorial was all I could have asked for.  We got to see family we don't often get to see anymore, and old neighbors, and I met my stepmother for the first time.  Old family friends came, and lots of smiles, and remembrances flew around the beach.













My sister and I waded out into the bay, remarking the whole time how we could hear him laughing 'til he fell over, (because he knows how much I just *adore* being in any natural body of water!).  Yes that's a bottle of beer in my hand.. A long-neck Schmidts, just like he drank when we were young.  Went right in with him.

Maybe now, my days can fall into some sort of regularity, but I doubt it.  #1 starts college in a couple weeks, and #2 starts school again shortly thereafter.  There will be schedule arranging, and shuffling, and homework and projects, and....... Oooh, I'm tired.

Hope you've had a wonderful summer!  And as usual...

Thanks for Noticing me!
