Long, stupid day.
I called the Mortuary at 9:00, and they picked him up at 11:00! That part is a relief. Filled out most of the forms that I could, that they needed. I'll be going there sometime this week to pick out his urn, and sign some more forms.
We have a small safe with important papers in it. The paper that had the combination is no longer in the desk cabinet where I last knew it to be. So I mentioned that to the amazing Brandy (from E's work) and she said if I can't find the combination, she will send a locksmith and E's company will pay for it.
I had to go to the grocery store (where Cameron works) and two managers (one is the Store Manager) found me and said whatever "Celebration of Life" we have for E, that the company will pay for all of the flowers and food.

I don't think they realize we're talking OK family/friend, Marine and Ambulance, and Parrotheads.
Neighbor 2 doors down, stopped by to see if I was okay. Later he took 16 bottles of Gatorade off my hands (bought for E) and helped me trade parking spaces between mine and E's cars.
That's MY fun day.
Hope you (Bill and Jerry) are feeling better.

Typical HOG story ...
I flew Southwest today and had to change planes in Nashville. My boarding position was group A, #42. #'s 39-41 was a woman and her 2 daughters, they looked high school age. The mother and one of the daughters were gorgeous. The other daughter was absolutely stunning. I behaved.

Love continues to you, Penny. As others have said, you are simply feeling the love you authentically give out.


Proud of you, Larry..All that lawyer training continues to pay off
That’s all I got for now. Let’s see what happens after my second cup of coffee.

I just thought of this. Celeste's husband Mark makes BEAUTIFUL unique urns out of driftwood. Absolutely gorgeous. I have one he made for our cat. Just a suggestion.
You can find his work on ETSY and Facebook under Ancient Forest Urns

Thank you, Connie! I looked at a few, but I'll probably go with one that has some sort of military or American flag theme.

I'm strolling around the Nashville airport stretching my legs and I just passed a chicken joint called Party Fowl.
Still like the name
Nacho Hippo there in MB better
We pass that one many times depending on which route we take to/from the beach.

Appreciate that!
We always stayed at Sea Cloisters II in Surfside not too far from Scotty’s Beach Bar back from about 2007-2009. Great memories!
