It was another long day. There was a funeral reception at church late this afternoon. We had expected the family to get there by 4 p.m. at the latest, but it was closer to 5. We had begun to wonder if anyone would show up at all and we had lots of food prepared and ready. They finally got there. The funeral had been held at a funeral home a few miles away at 2 p.m., then a graveside service at the cemetery.

I was the only one there who had the key and codes to lock up after it was all over, so by the time I got home it was about 6 p.m. I had been there since 7:30 this morning so needless to say I was pretty tired. I lay down for about an hour.
