    Gooooooood Morning, Owlettes! (Well, it's morning for two more minutes here in Cali...)

    I survived the Memorial Service for MIL! In fact, it was downright awesome. It helped that I made DH start the planning three years ago... and that all the legal stuff was in place... and that I am a compulsive list maker... DH and I were in charge of ALL the arrangements. All of them..... did I say EVERYTHING? LOL

    The day was sunny and gorgeous: 80 degrees! DH and I got to the church early to decorate... nothing fancy, just some pretty flowers and photos and mementos of Mom. The sanctuary was packed... almost 150 people there - pretty unusual for a 93 year old lady! But Dad (92 year old FIL) belongs to many organizations, and everyone showed up for him, plus we had many church friends show up for us.

    The one family member who has been the Turd in the Punchbowl throughout all of this did not show up. But her husband and daughters did, and he read her (edited) remarks during the service. Another granddaughter sang, accompanied by her husband on guitar, and their adorable little girl signing along to the lyrics. DH and his older sister spoke. Dad was so pleased...

    The reception was a lot of fun, lots of hugging and laughing and fond memories shared.

    Since it was held at our church, DH and I were host and hostess... the church ladies donated desserts and coffee and lemonade and iced tea. By the time we got home, we were both exhausted but immensely relieved that there had been no family psychodrama.

    The next morning, our youngest son and granddaughter came to spend the day with us. They had driven down from Seattle. Oh my gosh, DGD is now ten years old and soooo funny and smart and oh-so-dramatic... we just had the best "girl time" while DS and DH yacked away in the Man Cave.

    The rains have come and gone for now... we have one clear day, then tomorrow the storm comes in again for Friday and Saturday.

    At least it should be gone when I have to show up for (groan) JURY DUTY on Monday!!!!

    O.K. All for now.... hugs to all.....

    Okay, you SEE you guys!  SHE is worse than me and Cammi put together!  And did you SEE what she has me trolling around in? 

    I get more points if I mow down someone in a wheel-chair...right? 

    Yes, a SHOWER!  Just had to do it!  So I smell better than ANY of you now...  Hah! 

    Got our taxes done!  Yippee!  I had to prop my foot up on an over-turned waste-basket of theirs.... But soon, the Tylenol kicked in, and I felt better!    Daughter is so cute.... She just makes me laugh!    We went to lunch before, and she treated me like I was "special" or lame or something! 

    I am NOT a menace miss Ziggypoptart!  I am a cute little kiddle....  on wheels!  Brat!  She really IS a little shit! 

    Man, I'm afraid to take Oxy in the day-time.... especially driving  this 4-wheeler around... wait.... It only has 2 wheels plus 2 tennis balls.  Smart-ass!

    Now Cammi, don't humor her!  She will just get worse...  I might report her to the Special Victims unit... or who-ever they are.... YOU know, the people that pick on the elderly?  How old IS this person!  Little brat! 

    Just have to tell you all....  I love ya!  Thanks for making ME laugh! xoxo

    Blessings I'm glad all went well and yep that's a lot of people, how well u'r family is loved. And there has to be so many memories to share to honer her. And enjoying u'r GD is the best, with beautiful weather to help. U2 must be exhausted.

    Thanks for all the weather updates, Ours is crazy here so need I say more. My job has been pretty quiet today, but for some reason Thursdays are every week, makes me wonder why, cuz even when I worked for the state we used to tell our friends to come in on Thursdays cuz it was the slowest day to get in and out. Hmmm

    Just stopping by to say hello to all of you. I have been TRYING to catch up, reading through so many pages - you all really keep moving! I laughed, I sympathized, I enjoyed the conversation from a distance. My life has been so hectic with medical appointments recently and I haven't fell well enough to post my usual diatribes, but feeling a bit better tonight and wanted to let you all know I think of you every day and am sending my best thoughts of lovingkindness your way. Sassy, you keep up that genetics research!!! You and I have had several conversations on that, and I may try to follow up for myself soon as it seems I am going through one medication regimen after another right now.

    Love the animal photos!

    This is totally random, but for some reason I think ya'll would understand....

    My mini-schnauzer is in terrible need of a grooming. He's in bad shape, we haven't had time to take him, not to mention just not feeling up to it and now I'm embarressed to drop him off like this. LOL, so it just gets worse. The dog pictures made me feel guilty...I'm a bad doggy mommy :(

    Chevy!!! Spookie thinks that is her sister. Is it yours?

    Tang!!watch out for sneaky groomers!!!!When I was doing chemo, Spookie was still in full coat. It's a PITA to keep up, and I couldn't. Sent her to groomer for a bath. On pick up groomer asked if I'd seen her foster? I peeked over the Dutch door, there he was!!!!3 days later he had a fur ever home.

    Cammi, miss they could ship snow and ice down here, the ground is so parched. Nice rain started in the middle of the night but only lasted a couple hours. Sunshine today to dry out vey thing, we're expecting another larger storm tomorrow and the weekend. 

    Chevy, 2 weeks out? How was the dr appt? 

    Enerva, you always have the best animal photos!

    Blessings, so happy the memorial service went so well! Now, a chance to rest and recoup?

    Sassy, not sure if you'll see this tonight. Wishing the best for you tomorrow! 

    Last night, (really, in the middle of the night), after I posted, was without Internet for a couple hours. Thought DH had unplugged the Internet (he did just that the night before). By the time it can back, was too tired and DD got up at 4 AM. Wishing I had some energy back.

    BTW, with all this talk of pumpkin, have been craving a pumpkin pie

    SAS-thinking about you. You know we'll all be in your pocket tomorrow, but wait!! You'll be naked! So maybe in a cute doc's pocket watching you. You didn't say if this was an in and out kind of thing. Be sure to have Cami or Chevy post something if you can't.  Be better quick!

    Blessings-glad your arrangement went well. I haven't had to deal with anything like that. My parents didn't want anything so nothing is planned. They have all the arrangements made, so it will be easy for my sister and me.

    Chevy-did you zoom around walmart yet. Crash? Or just run down people?

    SAS, Definitely in your pocket tomorrow. I had a gown with pockets, so I'm assuming you'll have the same.

    Sas, hanging with you tomorrow in spirit. Your pockets will be hopping with lord only knows with this group...

    Chevy, I am jumping in an answering for Sas, Sheldon is the scientist on "Big Bang Theory". He has aspergers or some kind of social dysfunction. 

    Linda,...Welcome ....to insanity of insomnia....

    LOL - Holeinone - you nailed that one, the motley crew in sassy's pocket ... I just don't even know how to begin to describe it. All I can say is if the doctor gives sassy any shit, he is going to be one sorry fellow. We'd be like some cray cray Lilliputians swarming all over Dr. Gulliver. Chevy's spiked heels would pierce his chest & Cami be getting that gun out and pouring bong juice down his nostrils....
