Amazing Grace reduces me to a puddle EVER. SINGLE. TIME.
We have reached Redding and decided to stop for the night. Finding a hotel room was a challenge. Apparently we are between two big fires and Redding is "base" for all the out of town fire fighters.
Blanks definitely should not be fired at people. From close range they can kill. Even from a distance, being hit by one would probably hurt.
f there was any dignified way to work it in, I'd be campaigning hard for it.
Maybe you could have the funeral home play it during visitation? At a friends funeral, my friends father had tapes of my friends band playing.
we have bookcases! fernet for everybody. ( I get whatever y'all don't drink)
Gronklies, all.
We just had a lovely dinner and dessert with Jilli & Pete and Plei & DH and TICKYBOX, who is every bit as cute and even more than her pictures. The weather has been sunny and cool (mid 70's! I'm in heaven!), and the cold that I told to go away actually listened to me and went away. It's been a really nice day. Now I am a sleepy Kristin and must sleep.
But Jilli! And Pete! And Plei and DH and Tickybox! Huzzah!
Not to be to unspecifically scary, but good biopsy-results-ma, please? And possibly some problem-going-away-ma?
I'd ask for credit-card-ma also, but I don't think any power in the 'verse can stop my bank from shutting my card down every three months because someone in Greece is using it OMG!!!
I can't believe the same Identity Thief keeps stealing your card number over and over again!
Much 'ma to you.
Sorry. I had to skip. But I want to let you all know that I'm gonna be on vacation until Tuesday and will have no internet access (Oh! The horrors!). Hope you all have a good weekend!
Raq, only health to you, no scariness. Now. The bank thing is so ridiculous.
vw, enjoy your vacation.
We had a Naval honor guard graveside, at dad's funeral, as well as the piper. They did the gun thing and we had them give the flag to Ben, which only made all the eyes wetter. It was so cold, and I remember thinking they must be freezing, and they looked about 10 years old. I can't remember if there was Taps. I think there must have been, but I was just at my friend's brother's funeral in May, and I keep remembering Taps from his burial, when I try to remember dad's.
Peace~ma for Teppy and family.
My dad used to sing Taps every now and again in the evening. It would have killed me if they'd have thought to play it at his funeral.
ETA: all kinds of ~ma to Raq.
