saturday night – Marty

 

We’re down in Dennisport Ma to attend the funeral of our good friend Jen’s dad, Marty.. .. Marty died 2 weeks ago at age 85 from Alzheimers..   Diane, Deb and I came down last night, stayed with my mom.. then came down to the cape for the service today and reception afterwards. I was glad to be here. Marty was a fun guy wiith a big loving family. There was a good crowd at his Mass.. I’ve bene to so many Catholic funerals in recent history that I have a good portion of the mass committed to memory.. it felt good and comforting..

There were seen great stories about Marty.. including how much he loved being in the cranberry parade dressed up every year.   Here he is as Carmen Moran-da

We spent the afternoon and evening with Jen and her family. .It was great hanging out with them and hearing more about their life  with their dad..

 

It as Jen’s birthday today.. crazy juxtaposition

 

Later that afternoon.. we checked into our very nice hotel.. the breakers in Dennis.. Diane and deb went out to the beach with Jen and Tim.. I went to sleep (fighting off a sore throat)

on the walk diane and Deb saw this seal !

Around 6 we headed to Jen’s sister Sal’s for dinner.. that mean another birthday cake for Jen !
