We went to the memorial service of an elderly friend of ours today. He was 91 years old when he passed away, and was a very interesting man. He'd lived a long, full life. I used to be able to handle funerals and memorial services without getting too emotional, but since my dad's funeral I find that I can't get through one without crying. I hate that.
After the service everyone gathered at the son's home for awhile, and that was nice. He and his wife are taking his mother on vacation with them to Florida to visit relatives and friends; his mother has a twin sister down there. They've kept her busy since James died, even taking her to the movies last weekend. She's 90 years old and not in good health herself.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I am the same way you are since my Dad died ::sigh::
It's been super hot here too, 104 yesterday at Disney! It's like that everywhere! I've been watching the weather channel and all that's on is warnings about the heat all over the US.
Glad to hear you didn't have any further flooding!

I am so sorry about your friend. It is never an easy thing when a loved one passes away.
It is so hot here in CT too; and no sign of the humidity going anywhere anytime soon. summer in New England; hazy, hot and humid.
Hope you get some relief from the heat soon!
