Thanks, Oma and Rick. My sister took mom up to the cemetery to say hi to Dad, then drove up to Tom Thumb's (a local summer store on Owasco Lake) for soft ice cream. They ran errands, went for a ride (it was a beautiful day) and barbequed dinner on the new grill Dad never got a chance to use - the old one flared up when lit, threatening to blow off your eyebrows if you leaned over too close LOL.

Once we get through this July (his birthday and their wedding anniversary) and the major holidays it'll get better. There've been lots of laughs along the way (it helps to have a gazillion relatives - I have 8 siblings, so there's always somebody there to tell a funny story.)

Thanks again.
