A few previous posts have been out of sequence due to a lousy WiFi access, a mixture of whirlwind activities, and Norma Hazen's death.
To restate the situation, Norma died Sunday afternoon just after seeing her last step-son married to a wonderful lady. She 'went out' (those would have been her words) with great timing. It was her 52nd wedding anniversary to Wayne Hazen, her entire family (minus a few cousins and nieces) were present, she died quickly, and there was a party going on. Again, great timing.
Monday was a somber day. We stayed around the house, talking with Norma's son Chase and his family. We all did some of the practical things that need to be done when a family member dies, talked about events from over the years, and generally 'chilled out'. There was some tag football involved between Lee and the twin 8 year olds and it became abundantly clear Lee was out of his league.
We went to Sue and Bruce Shaver's house (friends of 40+ years from the Buffalo NY days) and had dinner with them. They are surrounded with grandchildren and it was a noisy and very fun time with a '''bit''' of wine involved.
Anyhow, back on the road Tuesday morning. The trip continues toward the east and home with the first stop at a museum in Minton, Nebraska. The projected arrival in Maurertown is by Sunday the 28th.
