Today was OK but not easy. I got up and knew there was no time for my excercises. Darn I’m going to fall back again. I almost had everything to 20 reps.
I took a shower it’s nice having 3 blocks and a top for your head and an individual hose.Theres a knob you can set it all sorts of ways. I got dressed, not sure what to wear but I know it’s chilly. Since I put on navy stretchy pants and a long sleeve heavier top. I wore my blue jewelry set with matching ring, necklace and earrings. A lady working at the site complimented them.
I got dressed and ate an english muffin with fruit bowl and brought the coffee with me. He seemed a bit nervous of the route but made it there in plenty of time. In fact, bros were there but inside the burial grounds where they flew by and turned around.
We followed the lady around to the site. Sure enough, a little stone bench just the seat with an opening in front was there. His bro brought the urn with his mom’s ashes. A few seats were there. The urn sat on top. We sat or stood while his bro read a nice poem to say good bye to your mom. His other brother read something from the Bible I think. The urn was placed inside and workers came to put on the closing piece of stone. It was over everyone gave well wishes.
it must have been odd for my husband to sit in front of his wife’s headstone right there in front of him. His mom’s bench is close behind it. I myself had a bit of trouble. It’s a weird situation. I’m his wife now, looking down on his 1st wife and beyond saying goodbye to his mom.
I went to the lady helper and asked if she could find where my husband, Eric was buried. She found it on line and took us there. It was so strange to see his name on the ground. I told him he will always be in my heart and the kids remember him and love him. I am doing what i can with them. I sent them the picture of the head stone.
We then went to meet his bros and their others at mama Lucia in a outdoor mall. The food was very good. I couldn’t finish. I brought some home. I and El ate the same pasta with seafood and white wine garlic sauce. They had garlic bread that was delicious.
I wanted to talk to all but seated at the end made it difficult. It was good to see everyone talking together. It was nice.
We walked back to the truck. It was waiting patiently. We drove back to the campsite. I saw more cars then; than I would see all year in Palm Coast. It was weird how i did not recognize any of Maryland. So strange to be back there again.
We settled down. He had to drain some lines in the back. But, it is chilly at least not raining. I hope I didn’t jinx us just by writing the r word.
I’m not sure we will do dinner. I’m not really hungry. I came in and opened a bottle of white wine. It was French so yummo! He came in and we decided an egg roll for dinner is fine. I found some Brussel sprouts for his greens.
in the meantime, I hacked everything I should not eat. Don’t know what came over me. All the chocolate things are in back of one shelf in the frig. I must have had at least one of each. Choc cookie, choc mint, choc covered mango and whatever else. Not good. Tomorrow I will step on the scale and hate myself. I already put on 5 lbs.
Well, enough of my whining I will add some pictures tomorrow as I took them from the phone and I’m writing this on my I pad.
luv ya for hanging around. It hasn’t been remarkable I know. The last trip to Africa I will never top it. But I’m so happy you stick around have a great evening. Crap it’s already 9:30pm good nite.
