Huh.....

The Bitter Sweet Weekend

This weekend was the funeral for my Grandma. We flew to Battle Creek, Michigan (home of Kellogg Cereal) for the event. It was bitter sweet. I got to see all my "favorite" aunts, uncles, and cousins, which was the sweet part, and then all being there to mourn/celebrate my Grandma was the bitter part. It wasn't bitter...like bad bitter....it was more of a sobbing ceremony of fond memories and beautiful praises of her life. I didn't anticipate crying as much as I did, but it was a healthy cry, and with 12 fresh inches of fluffy snow on Saturday morning Grandma reminded us of where we all came from.

Throughout the weekend we had toasts in her honor, told wonderful stories, threw snow balls at each other, wore her costume jewelry with pride, and enjoyed each others company immensely. I am sure that Grandma looked down on us all and smiled at the fun we had in her honor. Strange to say -- but the funeral weekend was a hit, I guess.

I was surrounded by my insane family, who now all have my blog address, thanks to the big mouths of a few of my FAVORITE aunts and uncles!!! (Hello - Everett/Vesely's.) There will be no more talks of sex, drugs and rock and roll on this site, people. JUST JOKING! Who better to know the "real me" then the ones that created this monster?

Tonight or tomorrow I will post a few pics of the weekend. (The smiley parts that is.)
