Today I took a drive down to the Cape so that I could ride further down with my Dad to see my Grandmother for her 91st birthday. She was surprised and thrilled to see me there with dad. I did not tell her that I was coming. We were heading there to take her to lunch but instead had lunch in at the house. It was nice. I got to spend a good deal of time chatting with Grandma. We don’t get to get down often enough even when we are on the Cape. It was nice to have the time to get down there today.

Tonight was Eva’s dinner with the teachers. Eva and Allison attended. I missed seeing Eva and Allison before they headed out but Allison got some photos. Andy took this one.

Eva had a nice time. she put together a skit with some friends and that went over very well, too.

Today was Grandpa Rick’s Funeral. We drove down to the Cape in the morning, got changed at the house and then headed over to the church. the ceremony was a very nice wone. My mother and my uncle spoke about Grandpa’s life. The priest was excellent and it was a nice tribute to Grandpa Rick.

After the funeral we went to the Coonamessett for a reception. The kids were quite well behaved there. Eva joked that she as dressed as one of the wait staff and should be filling everyone’s waters. We enjoyed a nice meal and shared stories about Grandpa Rick.
