Renee’s family lives all over the US (Raleigh NC, San Diego CA, Jackson MS, Little Rock AR, Wichita KS) so having them all in one room is a rarity. It was a sad, but good day as they said goodbye to Lori.

Remembering Lori
We gathered in Bryant, Arkansas to remember Lori, Renee’s sister who died last month. This was from the visitation, tomorrow will be the memorial service itself.
The psychedelic urn is very much Lori.
Thanksgiving detritus
We went to Renee’s brother’s house in Little Rock for Thanksgiving. Her family needed to be together after the death of Lori, her sister, last week. Lori’s husband and their daughter were also there. It was good, but sad. It’s OK, though, because it’s supposed to be sad when people you love die.
Lucky Cats
Being Friday, and thus date night, we went to Ding How for supper. It’s a Chinese joint in Ridgeland, a nearby suburb, and the family that own it are delightful. We always get updated on her kids, and hear about the rising food costs, and she asks how we are doing, and she thanks us effusively for being suck loyal customers. We probably eat there once a month or so.
Dinner was somber – we learned this morning that Renee’s sister Lori had died. We knew it was coming, but still – you can know a thing is coming, and yet not be ready for it.
