So apologies in advance. I’ve got all this cool stuff. I got all the audio from a whole bunch of papa stories, including a whole bunch about his bike trip across the country, and even a few bonus Nana stories. Also, lots of pictures from the funeral and associated family gathering. Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to do much with them for the last, lets say month. I’ve got to travel again soon, and then there’s three weeks in Europe (awesome!) It just means I’m not going to be able to do a whole lot of extra stuff for a while. I’ll try to get the pictures up where people can see them, but I’m not going to be able to play around with the audio or do much other writing. So, sorry for that, but EUROPE!
Back in Austin after a weekend away. The cats are VERY EXCITED to see us. I’ve nearly tripped over Nagano several times in the morning. He’s cute, but a little underfoot, sometimes. Jess has got a hockey game tonight and I’m going to attend for extra support. Rumor has it that if there are any guys out there that try to push my lady around, I may be called in to beat them up for her. Fingers crossed!
It was really nice to see everyone this weekend, even if the occasion was quite sad. Sandlin, Jess and I got to have a ‘wake’ with the cousins. Which is to say we went to a bar and had a few beers, talked about a variety of very silly things, and often toasted ‘to Papa’. I like to think he would have approved, except that he wouldn’t have been there because we were up quite late and Papa would not be holding with missing his bedtime. But hugs were given to and received by all, the funeral was very nice, and several spectacular speeches were made by members of the family. Well written and well read by all.
So, from Austin once again, hugs and love to all. I’ll see you all pretty soon, even if it will take me a while to be able to write again. No doubt I’ll have plenty of stories to tell whenever I get back to blogging here again.
Love,
-N
