Weekend from H-E Double Hockeysticks!
This weekend Jerry and I travelled up to Chicago to attend Jerry's Gram's memorial service. This was not a very pleasant experience on so many levels.
The memorial service was very short, but I managed to cry a new lake for Chicago. I gave Lake Michigan a run for its money.
All of Jerry's family on his father's side was there, which is chaotic at best. I will not say very much about it. I was once told that if I don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Very wise.
I will share with you my happiest moment from this. Jerry's grandmother used to make a crab dip, which she would place in the middle of a very nice plate. (I think the plate, or platter, was crystal.) Anywhoo, she would put the dip in this bowl every single time. Well, the bowl turned out to be an ashtray, but a very nice ashtray. It was also crystal, and it was very pretty. Whenever I saw it, I would smile to myself. That is just such a cute thing to do.
I am now the proud owner of the crab dip bowl. I hope that one day my grandchild will bring his wife to enjoy my dip, and smile on the inside because it is in an ashtray.
In memory of Angeline Strunc. May you enjoy your time with the Big Guy until we get there. We love you.
