Monday, January 6

We left Mark and Diane’s home about 7:00 a.m. on a very rainy Monday and dropped Lydia off at Region 10 Technical High School where she is studying for her senior year of high school.

After arriving, she learned that school was delayed two hours because of the heavy rain. She used the time to do some school work.

We drove in rain for most of the first five hours.

That’s a lot of wheels!

He was coming from our going for a very large and long load.

Though the sun came out later in the day, it was still very cloudy.

We got home just in time to freshen up a bit before going to a viewing/visitation for a cousin of mine who died suddenly on New Year’s Day morning.

He was a son of one of my mom’s sisters and a dozen years younger than me.

Some of us (cousins) commented that it is sad that it takes a death to see so many relatives.

Now we are staying home for a while.

I think we were away from home for the past three months more than we were home.

Since then Cerwin began construction on another chapel, and I am getting caught up in the house and office.
