october 12th

dear diary,

happy columbus day.

we had company off and on all day. we love company. cheryl came over for coffee this morning. jesse cleared an area, this weekend, between the old house and the new house. i put a couple of chairs in the cleared area and we sat there with our coffee. it slopes upward from the road and provides a nice view of the bog and little pond.

debbie and kevin came over with shawn and mackenzie later in the morning. their printer isn't working and she wanted to print out the itinerary for the trip to oklahoma. debbie, kevin and i are going out for geny's funeral. she died saturday. she had been in and out of the hospital a lot this year, but i think it was still unexpected at this time. i have been really sad all weekend.

laurie came over around noon and had tea. she wrapped christmas presents for me. it was on my list of things to do over the holiday weekend. i am trying to get ahead of the game, since i will be leaving for japan on december 11th. i have put a small dent in my list and if i wrap as i buy, i should be in good shape before i go.

cindi came home saturday from the hospital. she has to go back as an outpatient to have more fluid drained this week. the cat scan they did before she left, showed that there was still some in her lung. they wanted to keep her until tomorrow, but she opted to go back this week instead.

i didn't get much done today, so i will scramble tomorrow to get caught up a bit before leaving early wednesday morning. the wake is thursday and the funeral friday. we come home saturday.

i have some pictures to post, but i need to get them onto the computer. i will do that a little later, so you have something to REALLY look forward to tomorrow.
