I last wrote about a long weekend and how it discombobulates me.  That was nothing compared to after the long weekend.  One Tues. evening, Sept. 2, my mom called to say they were taking my step-dad by ambulance.  I jumped in the car and went in to get her.  The following day they life-flighted him to Billings and then he passed away Thursday night.  What a roller coaster ride!  The service was Monday the 8th.  It was a very nice, graveside service for the family and then a gathering of friends and family afterwards in town.  My mom's church put on a luncheon. 

My brother flew in from Singapore, where he's currently working, on Friday the 12th.  He just left yesterday about noon.  It was good to see him and spend some time with him.  It just seems like it's been a flurry of activity since before Labor Day.  Yesterday was also our mom's birthday.

All I know is I really slept well last night!  I can't believe this month is already over half over!
