Life flip flops on a dime sometimes. I was SO dreading my friend Bill’s funeral yesterday. For one thing, I have only attended one funeral since Mr. Virgo died and that wasn’t someone I even new, actually. I went in support of the parents. Bill’s funeral meant looking at his wife and remembering. Bill’s funeral hit close to my heart.

I made arrangements to meet a dear friend at the church. I warned her ahead of time that I wasn’t sure how I would react so she was prepared to make a quick exit if it bothered me. The church was absolutely packed. One of Hubby #2’s colleagues sat next to me by chance. I hadn’t seen him in years. We chatted and caught up which was lovely. The service was an amazing tribute to a man well loved. The only time I teared up was when they presented the flag to his widow. That always gets me. There was a reception after and I stayed so I could visit with people I literally hadn’t seen in decades. It was sad that it was under such circumstances but delightful to see so many people who have touched my life. It was a day full of love and grace.

And now, I turn my attention to the next thing on the agenda. I am driving back to Denver today to avoid the holiday traffic on Monday. Then there will be the 4th of July festivities. And after that, there is a camping trip with Little. Big has swim practice and has not inherited the camping bug, so it’s just me and Little heading out for a week of fun in the mountains! I saw this photo of a bacon s’more on FB the other day. SO not on my diet, but decadent nonetheless! Hope you’re enjoying your holiday weekend!
