oh june, what you have brought
today i went to a funeral. it was for my uncle, i suppose you would say, i always called him that. he was my aunt marcia's second husband, but the only person i ever remembered her being married to as they had been married since i was three. he was pretty cool, i recall he was always full of spunk and on his game in his healthy years. it's weird because my aunt, who is my dad's sister (and my favorite aunt) is 59 and uncle bob was 79. so there was an age difference. he got Parkinson's disease and had dementia and was in a nursing home and failed really quickly. my aunt was there every day of those 5 or 6 years in the home, spending time with him whether he knew who she was or not.
i couldn't say enough about my aunt, she is amazing. she's a gardener, and lives in a beautiful house near oregon, il. with all her gardens. she's the greatest cook i've ever met, and a has a great personality. the funeral was sad just because she was (obviously) very sad. my uncle was a pilot for american airlines for 35 years, which is pretty cool.
i got the chance to hang out with my cousins, though, something that's always pretty fun. i only have one aunt and two cousins on the rosene side, and both my cousins had their wives and families there. we're all planning on a fun weekend around the first of july because my sister, mark and the baby, plus my BROTHER and his girlfriend will be here. we were discussing if we were going to get the boat out or not, which may not happen. kyle and seth live near the dock we always go to in hennepin, so i always wished i could just take the boat out and have the group for the afternoon. it's always a lot of fun, if one knows how to unload and reload the boat 'n' such.
yesterday i did nothing but sit on my bed and watch gilmore girls dvd's. sometimes i think i have no life, and then i'm proven wrong, but i usually just go back to the whole "i'm lame" theory in the end.
