Also down to just one uncle and his wife. Haven't heard from the one uncle's widow since she said she would have a memorial for him "later" and never did. Or didn't tell us about it if she did. We were never a close knit extended family, though.
I'm on hold for a conference call that was supposed to start at 7 and that I came in early for and no one else appears to be on. I hope I dialed the right number...
ETA hung up and called in again and the conversation was going on without me so I must have misdialed. Argh.
All ~mas, especially to Plei and sj and amyparker (and whoever else I missed by skipping and skimming).
Just a quick reminder: Holiday card exchange deadline is tomorrow.

So my office is going to move pretty soon and there is a holiday party the day before. I have started a secret campaign to try to put together a "spontaneous" rendition of 'One Day More' (cut down to simplify and shorten it a bit). Don't know if I can pull it off, but I have a Valjean so far.
Plea, I'm so sorry for your loss.
My condolences, Plei.
Mom's plan is to have her ashes combined with Dad's, then I'm to scatter them over the family plot (in a lovely smalltown graveyard with oak trees and a gentle hillside leading down to a meadow) and somewhere up in the Ozarks where they had their honeymoon. I may end up dodging authorities to do it, but it'll be like having one last adventure with them.
The ashes for both of my parents are in urns, and I'm assuming still sitting on a shelf at their old house which my sister now has. I do not expect to see those ashes every again unfortunately.
