@ Paradox3, just read about your Moms passing. Please accept my deepest condolences. Hugs.

Pinga sorry to hear about your BIL's accident, hopefully all will turn out well.
 
@paradox3, will you be having a celebration of life or funeral surface. Thinking of you, and remembering the wise words of a wondercafe friend who advised me to "lean into love". Those words helped me in the week after my mom's death as family got complicated. It helped.

Meeting with my minister later today to plan the service. . . not sure if we will call it a "memorial" or a "celebration of life". My mom did not want a graveside service.

Thanks for asking.

Whatever you call it, I'm sure it will be a moving tribute to your mom. Hugs as you journey on.

Dad had this thing he used for both Mom and himself. Something like "Celebration of Victory and ..." or something like that. For Mom's, it didn't bug me much, but I gritted my teeth a bit for his. It just isn't what a memorial/funeral/whatever is for me anymore.

I went to a UU memorial once that didn't even have a service. They just had a memorial reception where family and friends could gather to reminisce around mementoes, pictures, etc. I was in the "friend" category but just barely. It was Mrs. M's thesis supervisor (Mrs. M was away in China when she passed so I went alone) and I didn't really know her that well.
 
Morley's. It was a lovely gift, p3. The point I forgot to make to you was

I thought up until the last hour that I could do it so have a backup.xxxx
 
Sorry to hear so much challenging news for the WC crowd. I was only away for a few days and return to death, accidents, aging woes............What can I say...........Be well, accept kindnesses if offered, probably ought to stay sober!

I was at a grandude's Grad and returned to hear of the death of Best Beloved's similar age cousin. Shoot - we are losing friends and family far too frequently as we go up the years.
 
Pinga, that is good news. I had a feeling that it was touch and go for awhile. I'm glad that he is on the road to recovery. Have a good visit with him.
 
I was up early this morning. Stemmed and cut up strawberries for breakfast. Help yourself to some strawberries and warm biscuits. What the heck. Here's some whipped cream - make yourself a strawberry shortcake. The season is short. Enjoy!
 
Strawberry season is here for sure. We went to the Farmers' Market and picked up a full pail this morning. Then we picked the Haskaps in the back yard- a friend came over and helped pick because he loves them too.

Good to hear Pinga's good news.

We just learned that Best Beloved lost a cousin to cancer on the 4th. Today we learned that her hubby is in ICU with kidney failure. This is reminding me of ten years ago when my brother died, my sister died and her hubby died as the family drove to the funeral. I am sure the adult kids in this case are as overwhelmed as my nieces and nephews were.
 
Today sliced bananas, strawberries and Cheerios.
Yesterday was the first day this summer that we've used the air conditioner - probably a record late-date since we've installed it. Andit's predicted to be hot today.

And I really have to work on Sunday's sermon.
