Evenin' folks. We are back from a long day of travels and family ordeals.

It was a very nice and fitting tribute to the uncle. He was a Korean War Vet. Didn't have an "official" unit, but had the "county honor guard?" Don't know exactly who they were, but they did a nice job. His son is a music teacher so he had arranged bagpipes and a trumpet (for taps) at the gravesite.

We sang and did okay. A bluegrass quartet from the church sang a couple of original songs. One was about crossing the Jordan River. Don't remember the exact phrasing, but it was something like "when you're coming through the Jordan I'll wade out into the shallow waters to meet you..." Mucho tears in the house.

Afterwards wife's siblings and assorted spouses took Nana out for a combined birthday/Mother's day dinner.

It's after midnight and we've only been home about a half hour. I'm off to check my eBay stuff and then get some sleep.

See y'all tomorrow.
