Bev's funeral on Tuesday went quite well. Family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors stopped by the funeral home in droves, and many joined us after the service for hors d'oeuvres and drinks. My niece, Pattye, and her 13-year-old daughter, Jenna, stayed with us the entire day. I cannot begin to tell you how much Jacob appreciated having his cousin by his side during such a difficult ordeal. Jenna - you are awesome!
On Wednesday, we went to the funeral home to pick up flowers, pictures, and paperwork. Jim spoke to people at the bank regarding Bev's accounts, and then made numerous other necessary phone calls. We spent the rest of the day madly doing laundry and packing our suitcases, as we left this morning on our previously-planned trip to the upper peninsula.
Jim, Jacob, Irma, Richie, and I drove to St. Ignace today, and are spending the night at the Kewadin Casino Hotel. We will continue on to Calumet tomorrow, where we plan to frolic on our little piece of Lake Superior property, play tourist, and, eventually catch up with my cousin Dave who is visiting there from California. The weather has been just frightful in the Keweenaw peninsula recently - highs in the 50s, rain, and wind. Luckily for us, the precipitation is supposed to stop and the temperatures are predicted to rise close to 70 degrees. I will try to post some pictures as we travel along.
