Blue Sky's Smilling at me.


Mornin', folks.

It's a beautiful day here in Norfolk, OAT about 39 degrees and blue sky's. (OAT stands for Outside Air Temp. It's an aviation term and I DID spend a long time in the airplane fixen' field.)

Things are still in chaos here in the household but slowly simmering down. Beck's is working on funeral items for her Mom and still trying to be the primary bread winner of the family. The funeral is Saturday but family start to arrive this Thursday so we have to get ready for that.

I have to say I am SO proud of Becky for the way she has dealt with all this mess. Even though most of the arrangements were previously done, there is still so much to take care of after a loved one passes. Legal issues, family and friend's wishes, and trying to find time for yourself to grieve and deal with the impact of the death make for a full day. And Becky has been right there in the thick of it, fixing, cajoling, soothing, grieving,and still, moving life forward.

Thanks again to all who have helped, offered to help, or have just been there for support. We may not express it or show our gratitude at that moment, but we are grateful beyond words.

THANK YOU ALL!
