So my week off didn't go quite as planned. Saturday, I got off work and went to Church with James and my parents. Mum leaned over before Mass started and told me that a friend of the family had passed away. It was a bit of a shock because she was the same age as dad. Her family was having a private ceremony and burial and a public memorial service on Thursday. So Mum and I went up to the cabin for the weekend as we planned. Sunday went well.
Monday didn't go well. Mum got a call from Dad to let her know that Grandpa (Dad's dad) wasn't doing well and he was leaving work to sit with him. Mum and I decided not to leave early to rush to see him. Half an hour later we got "the call". Grandpa died peacefully at home. Dad made it to his house a few minutes before and his brothers were on their way. Mum and I wouldn't have even made it out of the door before the call came.
We came home on Tuesday. Grandpa's wake was Wed. and his burial was on Thursday. It wasn't a terribly sad occasion, Grandpa was 94 and had been quite sick on and off for a while.
So now I'm working on my beading projects. I'm making a wire and gemstone chip bonsi tree for James. I'm watching Mandie's kids while she goes to a job interview this afternoon. Then I'm going to the mall with James, he's looking for a book and I need to see if the schedual is up for work next week.
We might be going to the Ren Faire this weekend, if not this weekend then the weekend of the 4th. It looks like fun. I want to go this weekend, but the weather's looking iffy. James, myself and some friends are going to see Star Wars this Sunday.
