I got a letter from my neice who said that the evil sister neglected to mention certain things when she told people about the 'memorial service'. The main thing she didn't mention is that she hadn't told us about it. That little bit of information was something that she couldn't let on to the people who attended because how on earth would that look? Would it look like she was a completely screwed up individual who was working divisively, and would it look like she was a liar and a coward? YES! People are catching on to that. My friends who attended said the same thing - that she did not tell them that we weren't told about the service.
I miss my mom. I have to have a memorial service for her in my heart...

Another Day
Spring is in full force. The weather is getting warmer, the plants are thriving, the lawns need mowing, and Minnesota is becoming a jungle. The birds are hiding behind the leaves. A person needs extreme patience to spot one of those tiny warblers.

Mother's Day
My first Mother's day without my mother. I played a church service this morning, the Rutter "Lord is my Shepherd". It's a beautiful piece.
On Friday I got a letter from my aunt. She wrote a chatty letter with no mention of the memorial service or her part in the deception. She did let me know the date of the family reunion. I thought it a good bit of irony that she would be telling me about the family reunion but would not have told me about the memorial service. During the service I kept thinking about her and what I would like to say to her. I thought of my cousin saying that mom's clothes were 'inappropriate' and 'shabby'. I thought of my own preference in wardrobe and that maybe I could use this as an excuse to never see them again. 'Sorry, can't come. My clothes are inappropriate and shabby'.

The Crap and Nap
The farm is beautiful.
The good sister and I saw Yellow-rumped Warblers (by the dozens it seemed), Palm warblers, Wilson's Warbler, Nashville Warblers, Black-throated Green Warbler, Yellow Warblers and a Virginia Rail in the swamp. It is a heavenly place. Too bad I can't figure out a way to live there and make money.
We were thinking of selling a little bit of property or rather developing it into a little gas station and motel. The motel would be a nice bed with a VERY nice toilet. We'd rent it in 3 hour blocks and call it the Crap and Nap.
