What a week this has been. I am pooped and looking forward to a day working in the gardens and doing laundry. And a nap. I need a couple days of downtime.
Randy's dad's burial service at the cemetery at the top of the pass was bathed in sunshine and very little wind yesterday afternoon. We arrived an hour early, expecting hundreds of people, only to find a small group. The obituary in the local paper did not mention the time of the interment. The actual visitation then funeral service was in a city across the bay where he had retired. I understand that both were very well attended. It was a very touching burial and we were so happy to have been there to spend some time with the family.
But to get there on time, mom and I arrived an hour early to her appointment for the injection into her eye for macular degeneration. We told them that I needed to be at a funeral and they fast-tracked us. We were out of there with enough time to drop her off at her home then swing back to pick Michael up at work, eat peanut butter sandwiches in the car for lunch (I had mine on the rye crackers) and a bottle of water while driving up to the cemetery.
After we said our goodbyes, we shared a rare late Friday afternoon together in our garden. A dear friend dropped by for a bit, we had a fantastic dinner I whipped up and we both fell into bed early. This morning, we watched the stunning qualifying for tomorrow's race from Austria. Massa and Bottas are on the front row, both with Williams Martini Racing. This is a major shakeup in the F1 world and it should be an interesting race.
