Sorry for my absence.

It has been a sad last several weeks as my mother in law continued to fail.  She had Parkinson's and other ailments and at least now she is not suffering any longer.  20 of her 22 grandchildren attended the funeral.  One of our 8 had just moved to CO so he wasn't able to attend and another grandson had moved to the East Coast recently.  I think there were almost 40 of her 50 great grandkids there.  Lots of love, tears, and memories shared!  Most all of us had just celebrated her 88th birthday on April 6th, even though she was very frail and not up to visiting.  

These are the 20 grandkids. Seven of our 8 are in this pic.

This was taken on her birthday on April 6th.  My hubby is the one squatting!  Their mom was not well enough to be in the picture this year.  RIP Mom!
