a long day for ella

grannie's house at fith and morton, port alberni.

that was a long day...well, actually, it's still going on now. after my early wake-up (see insomnia around 3:30 a.m....) i got to work around 4:45 and did a little tidy-up and organizing so the control freak in me could leave at 7 a.m. and feel ok...
the ferry was as uneventful as usual and as i always take my laptop and watch movies i don't see much of the ferry or scenery i have seen since i was a kid.
i stopped in at floyd's and watched as tracy's kid - janine's daughter's 2 year old child - ran around the house naked singing and dancing and generally have a good old time...nice to see floyd and hand deliver him a new lawn order t-shirt. pretty exciting stuff.
i made my way from floyd's in nanoose bay to port alberni and to the church where grannie's service was being held. it was a nice, simple service and all that were there said as much. all of my cousins were there along with their wives and children. lots of children. nice to see all of them, if only for a short time. i'm not going to pretend that we're close, we're not, but i do love them and was happy to see them. just happier to see some more than others. great to be there with issy on her hardest of days. i love her so much.
after a short visit after the service i was on my way. i'm glad i went. i'm glad i was there with issy.
