0 Weddings 2 Funerals

Okay, so remember when I said that 2011 was going to kick ass ? So far, it has been not so great. Uncle Jack passed away and last night my cousin Debra passed away. I was very glad I got to see her before she died and I was able to tell her how much I loved her. She has always been the first person to visit me when I come out to Utah. I remember when my grandfather died and how much I cried and Debra comforted me. I remember when my mother first bought her rock home in Mayfield. Debra went along and said " I bet there are spirits in this house". I thought....oh my gosh....Debra is one of "those" people. Then she later said " No, I mean good spirits". Debra was and is an angel. If anyone would be able to see good spirits it would have been Debra.  I don't have any pictures of her to post. I think they would make me sad.

My mother had this drink at her house in Utah the last time I came out. It works...I started drinking it and WHAM I was tired ! Tom found some at Fry's in  Fremont. I think I would rather just get some in Utah. Anyway, since I am a trend setter.....if you have trouble sleeping drink this ! It's sorta like Tang, but you know it works. I'll drink anything like that if it's going to knock me out !

Going to Utah on Friday or Saturday. I think we are taking Alice the puppy, and Michele Sarah's friend along. I it will be good because Michelle and Sarah can watch the twins during the funeral. Having a funeral is one thing....but 8 hours of viewing....I don't want my children to experience that just yet. I am not quite sure what I will be doing while I am there. I suppose I will work on scrap booking family photos. I just want to have everything organized properly for my mother. I want all of those pictures preserved for years to come.

My toe is still broken, I am gaining weight by the second and...and oh and apparently my blog has really attracted the Middle East. Why ? I have no idea...well maybe the pictures of men setting themselves on fire out of protest would do it.

Gretchie, I am so sorry about your cousin. That was just two days ago. Your heart must be hurting. My sweet condolences to you and your extended family.
