Just wanted to say thank you all again for your prayers and warm thoughts. So sorry that I didnt get to answer everyone personally but I want all of you to know how much we appreciate your kind posts!

I did not have to do "KP" at the house after the burial. Some of my niece's female inlaws did the whole job! And it was quite a job too! We estimated about 75 to 100 people showed up. The large hall at the funeral home was packed and most of them came over after the burial. Thank goodness my niece has such a large home, except when cleaning it! (her hubby is a builder and built it for entertaining) And the yard is great also, with beautiful natural looking gathering/seating areas. The day was beautiful with temps about 70 degrees. Wayne and I just relaxed by the pool. And did lots of eating also.

But at some point both Wayne and I caught a cold. I have a very sore throat and stopped up head and Wayne says he is constantly sneezing. Sigh! The days prior to the burial were cold, rainy and ucky! Anyhow Wayne left at 4am this morning to head up to the Chicago area. I have spent most of yesterday and today sleeping and tending to the kitty babies. It may be a few days before I am back to posting here. Still a bit brain dead.

Hugs to everyone!
