Day 25 was different!
Annilee and Mom came up for the day, and R's uncle Mladen took us out on his boat so we could spread Dad's ashes out on the ocean. You would think it would be a somber event with a little ceremony, maybe a prayer, and a few tears. Nope, not for us. We're just not like that. In fact, we had ashes to spread from our family cat that we had cremated years ago too, so he went first. Then it was time to do Dad's. It started off fine, but about half way through, the whole bag fell into the water and Annilee had to grab it quick before we lost it, and dump the rest. Not exactly graceful of us! Needless to say it sent us all into giggles for quite some time. Poor Mladen must have though we were insane. And well, yes, we are, I suppose.

So after that, (and lunch out) there was not a lot of time for house stuff, though I did get a bit more unpacking and cleaning done.

Then in the evening, Lloyd, Martha, John, and Viola came over to see the place. It was really nice to catch up with them, since Bible study group is on hiatus for the summer. I really don't think they envy us for the work we have ahead of us!
