Uncle Lance

Lisa's Uncle Lance passed away at 12:40 am  this morning.

Last night, when word came that his illness would take him soon, Smiley took his Grandma to see her brother for the final time. I'm proud of him for that. 

RIP

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.. May he rest in peace. Amen. May almighty God bless us with his peace and strength, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Uncool Miller, Uncool

I just found out that Miller laid off my Uncle Kenny after 49 years of employment. That action denied him his goal of making it to the half century mark with the company he joined as a teen. #dislike

Dinner with my Godmother

Last night we saw my Aunt Jackie and Uncle George at Mass and invited them to eat dinner with us afterwards. What followed was a very nice dinner and conversation at Denny's. Thanks to them for accepting, and for the kids (Lu and Junie) for being good throughout a long dinner dominated by adult conversation!

Also, before I forget; when I complimented Junie on being good in church she said she 'had to be' because she didn't want to get "left behind like last time" - meaning when she was a terror in church and we left her with Entourage and took the other kids out to eat. Huh. Whaddaya know, a punishment/deterrent that WORKED. Maybe we'll get the hang of this parenting thing yet.
