Hmm, well here I am.

The rest of the troops joined us today in Lincoln. Travis and Michelle tried to get different plane tickets so they could stay until the funeral, Tuesday at 1:30pm, but it was going to cost at least $500 above what they already paid:S So instead we enjoyed a day together at Zelda's. Ansel is all over the place now and I know it was sweetness to aunt Zelda's heart to get to see him. Brandin and Andrew were over too for awhile. I can't believe that we are all grown up and on our own, the "first family" at least. I know, I know, I live at home but you see what I mean. We went and picked up supper at The Egg Roll King. Sethie even came over for that, I love my family. I left my car there with Trav and Michelle so they could drive it to the airport tomorrow night. We got home at a lovely 12:15am. Sleepy time.

Happy Fourth of July! I'm afraid today lost its festiveness for our family. We were separated and grieving, but we tried to do a little to celebrate. Mom, Brenna and I stayed at Aunt Zelda's house. We made it out for awhile when they went to pick out a casket at the mortuary. We went to Hobby Lobby and picked up some stuff for Brenna's 4-H projects. I snagged some art supplies as well and 1920s fabric for my Sun Bonnet Sue quilts. It was nice to get out for a bit, I do enjoy driving through residential areas of Lincoln. There are so many neat houses and yards. They all have trees which is refreshing, and not just baby trees. Cayliss decided she was up to a 4 th get together at a nearby friend's house. The rest of us went out for pizza. Hehe , something funny happened and Aunt Zelda got to laughing so hard she was tearing up. I was happy to see her smiling and laughing during this hard time. I love Aunt Zelda. She is always thinking of others, never for herself. Speaki
