Quick Vernal Trip

 It wasn't for a GOOD reason, but we had some good visits with families. We stayed with Joe Maestas. 

We left Sunday after a  9:00 a.m. church meeting. We returned to Cedar by 6:30 pm Monday, Presidents' Day Feb 17.

And I forgot to bring home ABE for the weekend?!?!!??!? 

Sally was really broken up, understandably so. We hope she gets the help and support she needs during the coming days, weeks and months. She only has "2 brothers and one sister left," she commented to her oldest daughter. 

We did get to visit with family-- and friends ! We visited with Lynn and Gary Kendall) at the Sunday evening viewing.  I am beginning to lean toward calling this a 'visitation' because that is what people come to do-- visit with family. Only Mike attended the Monday morning viewing with Family Prayer, and I went with Joe to the funeral. None of us stayed beyond that. No cemetery burial or visit, no luncheon, just a quick change of clothes and on the road again. We had really good weather for February. Just one snow shower each way, no hazardous roads. It was nice. And we listened to audio books each way.
