Bit of Ivory

Am much pleased with the Oscar outcome. Wish Johnny could have gotten it, of course, but he looked awfully pretty not getting it. And go RotK!

Grandpa’s funeral was today. It was a wonderful funeral– very inspiring. Sad, of course, but that’s to be expected. Since my grandpa was a veteran, he got all of the military honors, including a gun salute. It was very touching.

After the funeral we had the usual luncheon– ham, jello salads, and funeral potatoes. My 5-year-old cousin Ashley came up to me as we were sitting down. “I want to sit by you,” she said. “You know, I didn’t used to like you very much, but now you’re my favorite.” Umm. Thanks, Ashley. Heh.

Now, life can go back to normal. As normal as it ever is, that is. *sigh*
