Kristin and I are home from PA. I am all the way back on page 114! You all were chatty.
We made great time yesterday, arriving in plenty of time to check into our hotel and get up to see my FIL before heading over to the funeral home for the first visitation. We had a quick bite around dinner time (the neighbors have filled the refrigerator and freezer to overflowing) and then went back for the second visitation. It was nice to see so many friends and family that I haven't seen in years and to be there for Bob and his brothers.
We got up to snow and high winds this morning. Kristin and I decided to go to the funeral home and the church for the mass and then to start home. I am glad we did because we ran into a lot of blowing snow across the roads for the first 2 hours or so. It continued to snow off and on clear into Virginia, which really surprised me. The trip home took about 5 1/2 hours which surprised me since we had a rough start. I am glad to be home. Bob won't come until Saturday or Sunday. I know he hopes to tie up some loose ends and make sure that his 91 1/2 year old father is well cared for.
He said to thank you all for your kind words. He has decided that you all are pretty neat people. Well, DUH! I have been telling him all along that you are AWESOME!
I am tired. Kristin's cold is somewhat better and she has taken off to play Rock Band with her friends tonight. I am looking forward to having some time alone!
