Let's see - since my last entry, what has gone on in my life? Well, we went to the funeral - it was very nice. My uncle was in Vietnam so the Air Force Honor Guard came and did the whole flag presentation ceremony, played taps, etc. Very impressive. There were a lot of people, many of whom I haven't seen since I was a kid. It was neat to be able to introduce them to my kids. I got a lot of "I'm sorry about your uncle, and your mother...". Afterward we went back to my grandmother's house and lots of people came back - there was lots of food - Italians always bring food. :) My uncle's friends had so I grabbed one - it had been a long day. Then I went down to the basement to see my uncle's bike - he has an absolutely magnificent harley. He kept it in pristine condition and it was breathtaking to see it up close. I hope my aunt keeps it or at least sells it to one of his friends.
On the way home I took the kids to Staples to get their school supplies. $200 later we headed north for the long ride home.
I've spent the weekend puttering and re-hanging the things that we had to take down for the painters. I cleaned out our closet because I could barely walk through it. I took little Mike driving today - he's getting more comfortable. I'm starting to settle in again.
Work is good so far - still figuring things out, and I have a lot to learn. It will be a good thing, though.
I posted a picture of my new tattoo on my flickr page. It's finally just about healed and it looks great. I love it. :)

Italians always bring lots of food? There's little difference between Italians, Greeks, and Jews. The Mediterranean folks love our food.
I don't have any time to putter. I feel like I'm under water!
And I love your tattoo.
That's all I have to say. :)
Lisa, glad the funeral went well and you felt good surrounded by your family.
Also, I love the tat! It's especially nice against your lovely tan! ;)
