Forgot

Guess I forgot to post last night but really, nothing different. Work. Home. Eat. Sleep. LOL!!

We got out at noon today and I have to be at Sandy's around six. We're ordering Chinese. I am hoping to go to the 5:00 vigil Mass.

So the recap of this year. Mostly everything is here. I did pretty good remembering to post.

I didn't post details about our weekend in P-Town to say goodbye to Lou and Lee. It was an adventure that I hope I'll never forget but I'll try to remember the details here and now.

I drove up with Marina, Lou & Lee's niece. We had a room at the P-Town convention center, I think it was called. Dorian and Sabrina went up separately and had booked a B&B. Daryl and Davin drove up together and were not going to spend the night. We were just going to scatter the ashes, eat and then they were going to drive home. It didn't quite work out that way.

Dorian picked behind the lighthouse as the place to scatter the ashes. In order to get there we would have to walk 2.5-3 miles on the breakers -- giant stones stacked on each other. Apparently people do it all the time and at first it wasn't too bad. It was very windy though and I was literally getting drunk on the wind. So funny. And Marina had her little dog that she carries everywhere. We didn't slip into any cracks. After walking more than an hour we were only about 2/3rds of the way there. We came across two girls - one had fallen and was hurt. So the boys circled around them and made a shield from the wind and we called 911. The emts had to walk the breakers with a stretcher so us women folk decided to head back. The sun was setting. We ended up walking back -- more than an hour since now it was full dark. Then waited at the shore for the boys.

When they got back we watched a little to see if we could see the emts heading back. As we were standing there a beautiful fox walked right in front of Dorian and Sabrina and up onto the breakers. I have never seen a fox in the 'wild' before! So beautiful!

Marina, a bit after the fact, reminded us that Lou had probably never been out to where we were going to take her because she despised walking anywhere and would never have walked that far. True! So we decided to look for a nice sand dune in the morning. That left Daryl and Davin with having to figure out what to do. They didn't have money for a room. So we snuck them into our room and made make-shift beds on the floor for them.

After breakfast we headed out and check out dunes and found the perfect place. Dorian combined the ashes and set them free and we passed around a bowl in their memory. I participated and found that it didn't make me want a cigarette like I was afraid it might do.

That's the gist of it. We had a great time and Lou would have loved it.

This year - lost a few friends. I hope they're at peace now. And hopefully I wrote down anything I want to remember because I can't think of any right now.

Praying that 2015 will be as good or better than 2014.  God is good!
