Quick trip

Got Will home - picked him up at 10:30 Friday night, got to get him back at 5:45 on Sunday morning. It wasn't easy, he had to rearrange a few finals and get to the airport, but it was worth it. His presence was such a comfort not only to me, but his auntie Kathi, uncle Jeff, Cuz, and so many others

Grand View Cemetery

My grandmother, Sarah Goldberg, died in 1963 and her ashes are interred here. We wanted to put my father near his mother, whom he adored, but the cemetery is closed - out of business. But one can't just close the doors of a cemetery like a shoe store, so some hearty volunteers try as hard as they can to keep the place going. No one has been interred at Grand View for over 3 years. It's quite sad - the grass is dead, weeds are growing everywhere, and the city of Glendale won't take it over. So, eventually, we are going to move my grandmother to Forest Lawn to be near my dad.

june 1 look on the bright side

Trying to see the bright side -Kathi and I had to sit with a cappuccino to decompress after a long conversation at the cremation place in Huntington Beach. Lovely Italian restaurant, street fair, crowds - we realized that all around us, life was going on

I'm starting to hate my phone. I don't want to talk to anyone except Lee, my sister, brother, cousin, aunt, Will and Jo. But the damn thing won't stop ringing.This is actually May 31. There is no photo for May 29.

1 Witherspoon

One Witherspoon, where my dad lived for the last 8 months. I'll miss Cyndi, Pat, Gail, Ana, Alexis, Delilah, John, Juan, Zoila, Luis, Elaine, Annabelle and so many others.

Not Sam May 28

I will not eat it, Dad I am.

Nuttzo

A few weeks ago, I met the woman who makes Nuttzo. She has a lovely story - adopting 2 children who couldn't digest food, she invented this nut butter with lots of omega 3, vitamins, good stuff. Sadly, it was one of those nights that I had to drag myself out of bed to find a picture of the day. My brain is dead.
