Twins -- Ouch! I hate to hear your trip ended with a broken wrist! That's surely put a damper on the vacation. I will pray for speedy healing and recovery. * Thanks to TwinsDad for letting us know surgery was completed and successful!
Thank you all for your condolences and concern for me. It's going to be a huge adjustment, but so far... I'm managing. I even went to church tonight. Our Bible study is now all widowed women except the pastor (who is divorced) and one lady who is recovering from surgery and wasn't there tonight. DH and DS were the only men, so I don't know if DS will put up with us now or not. All these ladies are at least 10 years older than me, I think. I just kinda needed to see them. I knew they would be supportive of what I am facing.
Today we brought all the plants home (we had left potted plants at the church after the burial and meal. Just too late and too tired to deal with it. DS and family, dbro and his wife, and dmom and I went back to the cemetery after we ate, and by the time I got home from the whole thing, it was about 7:30.
There were a LOT of little flying things, I'd say too small for mosquitos, more like gnats, flying around the cemetery at dusk. Oh my goodness, these things have Eaten. Me. Up. My scalp itches, my back itches, it's just awful! There are little red whelps ALL OVER me!!! I may need some Benadryl spray. It seems like too big an area to do lotion or creams.
DS and DDIL have really been attentive to me. DS and I have talked several hours into the night, past midnight, several nights. They insisted that they ALL spend the night here the night before the funeral (which I admit, probably helped me sleep.)
The funeral went well... I'll put more in J&C. Maybe not tonight.
Tomorrow is another day.
