Mom has died. I was on the phone, talking to her. I told her when she was ready, she could go. She went immediately after.

My heart goes out to you, yet I am very pleased you were able to have a last conversation with her and say goodbye.

[Jane]

The same thing happened with my dad. When my mom told him it was okay to go, he did.

Turns out the same friend who with Mom when Dad passed was also with Mom just now.

That is a good friend.

[Jane]

Wow. Condolences, DR John G.

When we knew my dad was going, my sister told him it was okay to go, and she had me talk to him and say it over the phone as well. He went the next morning.

It helps them and us.

[Jane]

I too was able to tell my father it was ok and that Mom was waiting to see him.

[Jane]

There was a minor modern major miracles, so that was good.

Good.

[Jane]

COVID kind of put an end to all that, and I'm not sure that I'll ever go back.

Same here, plus I can't understand much of what is being said.

[Jane]

I see the new COVID vaccine for this Fall has been approved by the FDA.

Yes.  I went online to book appointments and they still aren't letting me book them.

[Jane]

From George:

Yes, two.  I'm #13 on on 2 copies from my library (13 week wait), and #10 on 6 copies at Pierce County (4 week wait).

I thought I had to pick one library or the other, or the book was automatically held in the shortest queue.

Are you using Libby?  I'm not.  I went to each library's OverDrive page and added my holds there.

I'm using Libby as I thought I had to use it to put books on hold.

I don't know about that, but the OverDrive sites are still around...so far.

I was blocked from using OverDrive.

[Jane]

All of a sudden I can't turn the page on the book I'm reading.  I double checked that it is the full book and not a sample, something I once did by accident.

[John G.]

Were you able to get a flight, John G?

I'm going to drive. I'll need the car. And I will need the peace of the drive.

[Ginny]

Friday evening greetings.

Mom has died. I was on the phone, talking to her. I told her when she was ready, she could go. She went immediately after.

Deepest condolences, DR John G, to you and your family.  Last month my sister told her husband his late golfing buddies were waiting for him on the first tee.

[Ginny]

Speaking of my brother-in-law, we are now in Grand Blanc, MI, for his memorial commemorations.  Celebration of life reception Sunday at their golf club and a private internment service Monday with military honors.

[Jane]

Were you able to get a flight, John G?

I'm going to drive. I'll need the car. And I will need the peace of the drive.

Is BJ still going to the sitter?  I imagine it would be difficult to take care of him while on this trip.

[Jane]

Sad, but a nice way to say goodbye.

Now I understand the special meaning of having the service at their golf club.

I find military honors very moving.  We have my father-in-law's flag here.

[John G.]

JB is off to the Tweet Suites tomorrow morning.

[John G.]

"Smart as a German hunting poodle." Great line in My Beloved Monster.

[John G.]

The sky is crying. A surprise thunderstorm hit this evening. It wasn't in the forecast. Thunder is still rumbling out there, but I think most of the rain has passed.

[Jane]

JB is off to the Tweet Suites tomorrow morning.

I'm glad he is able to go there.

[Rodzinski]

John G, so sorry to hear this. Happy it was blessedly peaceful. Sending thoughts of love your way.

[Jane]

Did you still need rain?

[Jane]

DR John what time do you think you will be on the road tomorrow?

[John G.]

The sky is crying. A surprise thunderstorm hit this evening. It wasn't in the forecast. Thunder is still rumbling out there, but I think most of the rain has passed.

Did you still need rain?

We need rain like crazy. We're in stage four drought restrictions. I'll let the plants enjoy the sip they had tonight and will water them in the morning before I leave.
I have to take JB in and take my houseplants to a friend's before I can officially hit the road.

[Jane]

I hope all goes well in the morning and you begin your drive at a reasonable hour.

[Jane]

SAFE AND EASY TRAVEL VIBES TO DR JOHN!

[Jane]

VIBES YOUR PLANTS ARE FINE WHILE YOU ARE GONE AND YOU GET MORE RAIN!

[Jane]
