Diane got home from Portland last night about midnight. SHe’d been gone a month. helping Gabe paint his house. I’d been out with them about 3 of those weeks but had come back for a few days in the middle. It was nice to have Diane back in VT.    I was traveling out th3e next day (today) to Dayton Ohio for my Aunt Sis’s memorial service.. She’d died several months ago during Covid.. so the family chose this weekend for an informal remembrance gathering

Diane and I  were about to go to sleep at 12:30 when I got a txt that my flight out to Dayton the next day (today) was canceled.. so I quickly had to reschedule to fly out at 9AM.. rather than my original 4PM..

It took me all day to fly to CInncinatti, due to delays. The Enterprise car rental people didn’t have enough cars to honor the reservation I’d made on Expedia (not going to do that again). They had one car left, a pickup truck, 3 time more expensive .. but my aunt Sis’s memorial was happening the next day.. so I took it. I drove the 70 miles to Dayton and got to the night before gathering just before folks were leaving.
We all then went back to my uncle Phil’s house for catching up and remembering Sis..

It was very nice to see everyone. 

Sisi was such a big part of our lives.. it was good to be there together to remember her

note all, nite sam
