What I Did For My New Year’s Celebration
After the funeral last night, I took a catnap and then went to a party held by some friends of my in-laws where I had EXCELLENT food and socialized a bit.Â? I probably *was* up after midnight reading — I’m engrossed in The New Faithful by Colleen Carroll.
Right now, I’m sitting here watching the Rose Parade with my in-laws — truly the southern California New Year’s Day experience.Â? We’re sitting here making snarky comments on the floats.
As for the Rose Bowl…
GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ummm… You’d Think He Would Have Noticed the Problem Sooner???
Australia-bound tourist ends up in Montana
This is one of those times where one just has to laugh.
In SoCal
In SoCal now with my in-laws.Â? I did Evening Prayer with my father-in-law and Jon — it felt good, especially doing it cuddled up to Jon.
I am surrounded by excellent cats.Â?Â? This is a good thing.
Memorial service is Sunday and interment is Tuesday.
More Unexpected Travel
Jon’s grandfather passed away this afternoon so we’re hauling butt to southern California tomorrow for a week.
Pray for me.Â? I just want to go home and see my cats.
