I arrived home from my visit to Western New York late last night. I'm happy to report both flights to and from Buffalo were without incident. Northwest didn't even lose my luggage. I came back with a sore throat and a massive headache, I feel terrible.
Our cousin Esther Olmstead died unexpectedly while I was there. There was a private service on Wednesday for family. Esther, in true Esther style, had left very explicit instructions regarding her service. She was cremated. There will be a public memorial in the spring. Esther was very active in many community activities. I got to visit more cousins than I would have had Esther not died. It was good to see everyone again even though it was a sad occasion. The service was led by Esther's nephew, a minister.
My sister's golden retriever has to have surgery for a torn ACL. I guess it's a fairly common injury in goldens. He was limping, my sister was limping. She has to have a knee replacement, she's not too happy about it. She is an ER nurse and is on her feet all night.
I'll write tomorrow about my first visit with a fortune teller. Very interesting.
