I’m told that this is “springtime” in Florida. And, I guess I believe it. The trees are budding, and the flowering trees are in full bloom. I’m not sure what variety of tree this pink beauty is, but it was sure eye-catching on a dreary, rainy day. I think it’s pretty with the bouganvillia and tall pine tree in the background. And not too bad for a snapshot out the car window at a red light!
Arrangements for Gammy have been made. There will be “viewing hours” —where did humans come up with this idea, anyway?— on Friday night, and the funeral itself will be Saturday at 2 p.m. It seems central Florida is a good location for those in the undertaking business, and the chapel was busy on Saturday morning. More on that for any who wish to know more, can be found –soon — on my little carepage at www.carepages.com –page name: WeLoveMyrtle.
It’s very surreal to be back in Florida after being gone only a day and a half. But, it’s good to be with family, now. And soon, I’ll actually get to see my husband again, too!
