David's father was a decorated veteran of the Viet Nam and Korean conflicts. He was laid to rest today.
We didn't go to the cemetery but we did go to the funeral home for the wake and service.
We brought the grandkiddies home with us after the service. We thought it would be better that way because going to the graveside can be pretty rough on kids. I remember my grandfather died when I was about Brandon's age. I remember going in and looking at him. I thought he was starting to breathe again and so it scared me to think he was going in the ground. Anyway, the two boys played video games and I played with Taylor until the kids got home from school.
We're watching Survivor every week when it's on. This time around, the survivors are "all stars" -- all of them have been winners or participants in previous 'seasons'. This evening, my favorite team voted off one of my favorite people, Rudy. Rudy is 75 and he is a war hero too. He's been through 6 days with little or no water and food and he didn't complain. One of my other favorites, Rupert, was in tears the day of the vote. He really believed that Rudy deserved to stay. He was the only one who wouldn't vote for Rudy so I'm glad he had integrity.
I keep thinking it's Friday. There's more snow and ice on the way. :P
