We spent a long weekend in Louisiana for Aunt Carol's service. Surly Teenager did a large amount of the driving.
This came in very handy and allowed me to look around at things like the Mississippi River and cool swamps.
The service was just for family and close friends. She didn't want flowers other than a wagon wheel wreath, with broken spokes representing those already passed away. There had been one at her brother Ron's funeral. After some calling around to a few florists, it was determined that no one had such a thing.
No problem.
Hubby did the structural designing and Sister-in-Law broke out her mad arts-and-craft skillz (I think they are a requirement of anyone with any type of teaching degree), then a trip to Walmart for supplies that included, I kid you not, a blue pool noodle, purple duct tape, and green sequined ribbon:
Pretty awesome, huh?
She had also requested dove's to be released.
For Mother's Day, I received some very beautiful Star Gazer Lilly's, and a card, from Surly Teenager. (don't look at the poofy hair. it was VERY humid there.)
And just because I am a mean Mommy, here is a picture of Surly Teenager sleeping in the backseat. You can't see it in the picture, but there was drooling.
