[Today’s run: 3.2 miles]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday I drove up to Memphis airport, picked up the rented mini-van and connected with the crew from Colorado who were coming in for the memorial service. We then drove home and ate some supper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I woke up, went for a run, then we fiddled around awhile with the grandkids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The memorial service activities started at 12:30 and we were a bit late getting everyone loaded but we arrived ok. There was a bit more than an hour of “viewing” and visiting time in the church sanctuary. Everyone liked the grand kids, which is only to be expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventually everyone had come through and taken a seat. Then the service proper commenced. It was very nice. We sang one congregational song. A soloist sang two songs. The pastor gave a good memorial and also encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that we got the kids loaded in the van again and went to the graveside service. Again we were a bit late but we arrived before the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next thing on the program was a meal back at the church. But we had a scheduling conflict so we were not able to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sister-in-law and her gang were all at the services and I hear they were able to attend the meal. I’m glad that was the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For at least a few hours today all of the Penenger offspring were in one location. It has been quite awhile since that last happened. There are two children, 5 grandchildren, and 2 greatgrandchildren, along with 3 spouses and 1 significant other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
