The funeral for our neighbor was this morning, so MrsBlue and I paid our respects. Without much time to shift gears we are heading off to my dad's to celebrate his recent birthday, where we will also get to hang out with WalterEgo, MrsEgo, and the little Ego-lettes, so we'll have a cheery end to a day that started on a somber note.
