Isn't this the best kind of post?
The service was lovely, the rain held off. We all choked up during Taps.
Everyone looked very handsome:
And Colin was brave enough to get up at the service and read a poem he'd written last week in honor of his Opa. We were all so impressed and touched.
Let the healing begin.
In other news, I started the Traveling to Bruges Scarf:
Using some yarn I received from my swap buddy in France. :) More details next time.
I was very honored to receive the "I Love Your Blog" award from Nancy.
Thanks, Nancy! Your timing was wonderful - it brought a smile to my face when I needed it most. :)
Nancy's blog is always one of my favorites because, as she pointed out, reading her blog is like talking to an old friend. It's a good thing she has no plans to quit (you don't, right?) because I would miss her greatly.
Yep - I know I need to nominate 4 people and I will - I promise! Just give me a few days to decide. :)
I'm going to leave you with a face:
Who wouldn't love this face?:
Cheers!
I thought of you all day yesterday. Yes, the "boys" look handsome and,because I know I am getting old, the boys look so much older (not Doug, you know what I mean).
Pretty scarf pattern.

So glad to see Emma again! Such a sweetie!
Taps always chokes me up too. Glad it didn't rain. Thought of you Tuesday too and how hard it is to say goodbye to a loved one.
Have a great day everyone!

That is an adorable face!
The funeral sounds lovely, as far as funerals can be lovely.
Your Traveling to Bruges scarf is really gorgeous! And for the love of heaven, don't nominate me for an award. I'm horrible. I never follow up.
