We've been to Ohio & back for a funeral this past week. Kevin's first wife's (who died of cancer) father died. We have stayed very close to the family and they have been amazingly gracious to accept me into the family. It was another celebration of a life well lived.
The other day I finally cleaned out the drawer of the china cabinet that came from Ma's house. It was fun to find all the odds & ends of strings, yarn, wrapping paper, batteries, etc. There was a pyrex bowl full of melted candle wax that she must have thought she would make another candle out of some day. I decided to get rid of the wax so I could save the bowl and use it. The funniest thing I found was a partially used roll of masking tape. She was the masking tape queen! I remember anything she sent home with us would be wrapped up and covered in masking tape. Two things she never ran out of--masking tape and Absorbine Jr.! Memories :)
