Day Twenty-six

Addendum

The day is done. The funeral is over. The bike rack is assembled. The new tire is purchased, on the rim, and mounted on the back bumper of the fifth-wheel. The airline ticket is purchased.

Nelson’s funeral was very well attended and many people also went to the graveside service and the dinner at the Methodist Church afterward. Jan, Dave, and the family appreciated our presence and we were glad to be there at this time.

It required both of us to assemble the new bike rack and figure out how to make it fit with the interfering spare tire on the back bumper. We also have a stepladder strapped to the rear of the fifth-wheel and this contributed to the crowded conditions.

I am flying to Florida tomorrow and returning next weekend. Obviously, we both want to go but it isn’t possible at this time. Tomorrow morning I will pack and then Kathy will drop me off at the airport at the required time. I haven’t decided about carrying my laptop with me, not being sure if I want to carry an additional bag on the plane. If I leave the computer behind I will be offline for the next week and I’ll see you on the flip-side. Good night, all.
