*the cows bring grog to all in here*
Attend the tale of Bovine Boy
His party threads we all enjoy
But does he have Mad Cow Disease?
He doesn't eat beef - but cows skating? - oh please!!!
With cocoa!?!
And lemonade!?!

Home is a good thing.
Saw Frost/Nixon, 110 in the Shade, Waitress (the movie, not a show), Tink, Jaily, D2, Rath, StageManager, and WithoutATrace. I tried to leave at one, but alas, could not. Something about cherries and copious amounts of alcohol.
Good night!

Glad you had good time, Shira.
Don't want to be a downer, but my grandmother just passed away this morning. I can't make it back to NJ for the funeral (and my family says I shouldn't worry about it, as Grandma wanted a very small memorial, and she knew I loved her, and funerals aren't for the dead anyway), but I still feel guilty about it. I'm very, very sad.
She was about to turn 90 on June 9th. I miss her already.

I'm very sorry, erika.
90 years is a goodly span.

Erika... I'm very sorry for your loss. Is there absolutely no way you can make it to the funeral?

Thanks so much, hep. Yes, she had a nice, long life, and she was in a lot of pain these past 3 years, so hopefully she's in a better, pain-free place now. But I still miss her, and I feel awful that I hadn't spoken to her on the phone since February. (She didn't have an answering machine, so you either caught her in her room at the assisted living facility or she never knew you tried to call.)
I was actually just saying at work yesterday (down at Disneyland) that I needed to call her. I was planning on doing it today. Weird, huh?
But I did send her postcards and letters and greeting cards all the time. The most recent on Mother's Day.

DD: Well, this may sound shallow, but I have two major auditions this week right when I would need to fly back, and again, my mother (it was her mother who died - my last surviving grandparent, actually) specifically told me not to be heroic and try to come, because Grandma wouldn't have wanted me to jeopardize my career for a funeral (my whole family hates funerals, to tell the truth).
They actually told me not to worry about flying back even before they knew about the auditions.
But I still feel weird about it. I'll be lighting a candle at the local church for her, though.
And to be clear: I don't feel sad about missing the funeral. I'm grieving for the loss of a wonderful Grandma.

Erika... it's not shallow at all. It's just that at times like these is when being with family makes all the difference. It still makes me sad I was unable to attend my grandfather's funeral, mostly because I would have liked to be there with everyone; instead I got to mourn on my own.

Thanks, Tink.
DD: Yeah... In this case, my family is so tiny, I've already grieved with the majority of the people who would be there on the phone. (I'm an only child, and an only grandchild as well.)
Thanks very much for the sympathy. I appreciate it.

Thanks very much, Shira. I wasn't sure if I wanted to post a separate thread about this at first, but then I decided to. (In case you're wondering why I talked about here and in its own thread, too.)

It's so HOT here today - for Seattle standards, at least. A mojito on the deck of a bar by the lake sounds excellent for this evening.

Erika, I am so sorry for your loss. I only knew one grandparent and she died in 1976. One of my grandfathers died in 1939!
Hot in my house tonight!

It finally cooling off.
I wish I could take a pic of the beautiful view out my window... dusk, still can see Mt. Ranier and an full moon just above it.
I love living in Seattle.

brdlwyr: Thank you very much. I wrote a poem for the service, which helped me a bit. Either my mom or my dad will be reading it for me.
I was lucky enough to know all 4 of my grandparents, but both my grandfathers had passed away by the time I was 8 years old, and my paternal grandmother passed when I was 17. I guess I just thought that since she'd outlived everyone else by so long, that Grandma would just live forever.

Erika: My parents are losing many of their friends. We finally have them agreeing to move to safer living quarters that will meet their physical needs.
Hot and humid here today!

hiya brd! Hot in Seattle too, plus no ocean air, so the air is stagnant. Ick! It should cool off nicely in the evening, though.
