We decided to go to Springfield IL today and go to Linda’s brother’s (Donald) funeral . We stopped at Ken and Ruth’s place in Carlinville IL and going to stay with them tonight, go to the funeral tomorrow and then back home. A real quick trip!
We had a good trip going up to Carlinville and didn’t get lost. There was a lot on construction in I55 which took us a lot longer than we expected. The visitation wasn’t until 4PM so we had plenty of time.
Before we left we dropped Sparky off at the vet clinic and Linda wanted to get a small tumor on his back leg checked out to see if it needed to be removed. On the way up she got the call and decided to go ahead with the removal and the biopsy to see if maybe it was cancer. They are really nice at the vet clinic but for the price they charge they ought to be nice!
Ruth was playing cards so we visited with Ken until it was time to leave. We picked up Ruth and went to the funeral home and got to meet Linda’s relatives. I didn’t recognize any of them except her brother Eugene and his wife Barbara. I think Linda was glad she got to go and see them even though she had a hard time remembering who was who. It had been a long time since she had seen any of them.
After the visitation we stopped at a Mexican restaurant for supper. It was a very nice place, the prices were decent and the food was excellent. Didn’t get a picture and I should have. The name of the place was Xomilchco or something like that. I think it was a Mayan name. The food was very good though.
We visited with Ken and Ruth for awhile after getting back to their place but I was so tired I couldn’t hardly stay awake. Ruth had to kind of make a joke of it, she said that people can only listen to her for about ten minutes then they start doing strange things! This wasn’t strange for me, more like normal! Got a picture of Ken and Ruth….
We always have a lot of fun with them, she is kind of crazy (funny)!
That was about it for the night. I had to get to bed…Night Y’all…
