It is also Go To Ohio Day. Well, for me it is. So don’t look for me here tomorrow. As you may recall, my cousin, Becky, died on the first of May. Although Becky and I were quite close, what with being born on the same day and all, I never really thought I would go to her funeral. I always expected her to die before me because she had health issues. But we had both agreed that when one of us died, the other would not travel all the way to the funeral. And eight hour drive for a funeral service that lasts about 20-30 minutes just didn’t really make sense. We both accepted that. But when another cousin, Myra, heard about Becky’s death, she began arrangements not only for a memorial service for her in Springfield, Ohio, but a family reunion too. And I do have an Aunt Lois who just turned 97, so this will most likely be my last chance to see her. So, my sister, Mary, and brother, Daniel are going to Ohio for the funeral and reunion. We’re spending Friday night with relatives. We will go back home to Wisconsin (Mary lives in Illinois, so we’ll drop her off on the way) and will be home late Saturday night. One other brother, Paul, is also going, but he is going on his own. not with us, because he lives in Indiana. So, I will see you all Saturday night (early Sunday morning)
Today is:
NATIONAL BANANA SPLIT DAY
NATIONAL KISS AND MAKE UP DAY
NATIONAL WHISKEY SOUR DAY
