Back to normal routine

Now that we are back home from Minnesota (Mom's funeral and lots of quality time with family) it is time to "hit the road running".  As an aside, that phrase means "start something and proceed at a fast pace with enthusiasm".  Because of my Mom passing, we had to reschedule the Pig Roast which was to be that week. It involved contacting about 80 people.  It will be in about two weeks from now.  That entails making a new spread sheet of guests who are coming or denied.  We use that to make name tags and to decide who to invite next year.  You don't RSVP and you may not be invited again!!

Yesterday we mowed the lawn which was long enough to bale it for cattle food.  Luckily we don't feel we have to have the best lawn in the neighborhood.

Today I will buy locally grown peaches and make freezer jam and enjoy the rest.  I also need to renew my driver's license.  That involves looking good for the picture (ha) and bringing extra documentation.  We now have to prove who we are, our legal presence in the US, address, and who knows what else. 

Tribute to my mother

On Sunday we lost my mother.  Gerry and I are in Minnesota now, having had calling hours yesterday and the funeral today.  I am sharing her obituary.

I know this is short and to the point, but that is all I can do today.
