Last night was the visitation at the funeral home in memory of my grandmother.  It went very well, and really suited her.  Then this morning I joined my parents, brother and sister for the drive over to Pekin (about 30 mintues away) for the graveside service.  Again, it was another good time of remembering my grandmother’s life and saying goodbye.

On the way home, we stopped at a restaurant, and my folks treated us all to lunch.  Since I don’t go out to eat very much, it was fun to sample all the interesting things on the buffet line at the Chinese restaurant.

When we got home, I was able to lay down for a nap.  Laura took care of Lilly while I rested, and I was very grateful for the chance to recover from the emotional drain from the last few days.

This evening I took the younger kids to Junior Choir practice at the church.  Now I am home and tired, even though I had a nice nap.  There is a group of family gathering at my folks’ house tonight, but I think I’ve had enough social time for the day.  I hate to miss the fun, and my thoughts are with them.
