Checking In . . .

Just a quick note from Chicagoland. My aunt's funeral is over: memories stirred, laughs shared, tears shed. Most important of all, links between away family members and the home team were dusted off, polished up, and strengthened. I got wonderful condolence calls from my two oldest sons - from New Jersey for one, from Bahrain for the other. Most of us are resting now; this is exhausting! One big get together tomorrow, then back on the road. Lacy is being a wonder pup, spreading her own brand of joy in the sorrow. Well, "sadness" if not sorrow. All part of life, isn't it?
