~ Friday Funeral Day Thoughts~

• Today was a great day. My sweet niece picked me up, we went and got coffee then went to set up the pictures at the church.
• The people that showed up, amazed me. I know that hardly anyone that knows my blog knows Pearl Cox, Eddie Cox and the other one... but one of the family members of Pearl's (she passed away so many years ago) who was my grandma Dugan's friend, came to represent the family. Most of them have moved to the Bay area and they called Dorothy and asked her to please attend the service.
• One of my best friends and I had a small falling out, and haven't really talked for a month or so. I look up. She's there. We held each other and cried like babies. I'm having dinner with her this week. I love you Deb.
• Another one, I'm yakking and I turn around, and my cousin Billy was there. I lost it. I have so many  favorite cousin's and truly, Billy is  one! I love him so much, and I was so glad no one told me he was coming. It made my day.
• Another cousin, Barry, from Chardon. He's Meg's favorite of the gang. I was so exited to see him, and I  knew Meg didn't see him. I stood back and watched as she realized he was there.
• Now the house things. Bed to Zailin ( I am considering having the wall between my bedroom and the spare bedroom knocked out and have hardwood floors installed and have a bedroom/sitting room/ office. A friend of mine is a contractor and offered to do it for a steal. 
• I took my part of the inheritance in March and invested in my future. Funny. She died 3.5 weeks later. 
• The family is heading over here for the evening. 
• Its been a good day. I'm relieved its over.
