I arrived back from NY last night. The funeral and everything went well, all things considered. It felt like I had been away more than 2 months, so it was nice to see Bob and the kids and some old friends. I also saw my sister-in-law Carol who is also Bob's cousin, and Veronica, another one of Bob's cousins. It was real nice to see both of them and spend time talking with them. I also got to spend a lot of time with the kids which was really nice. It was strange staying in Elsie's house with her not there. While I was there, I met up with Stephanie Moore, the wife of my friend Paul who died a few weeks ago. She happened to be travelling back from Buffalo and passing right by Amsterdam. We had a good long talk, and we probably could have talked longer if it weren't for her daughters who were patiently waiting with Steph's sister. I know what it's like to talk to someone who has also lost a loved one so I was more than happy to talk to her.
After cleaning up the RV and getting the frig. stocked up again I'm heading up north and back on the road again. I'm stopping in Sacramento to pick up DeeAnne who was able to get last-minute flights for an unexpected visit for the holiday weekend. We're heading up towards Oregon from there. I hope you all have a great 4th.
