grandma & the weekend funnies

Amidst the sadness we felt while attending Grandmas funeral this past weekend, there were bright rays of sunshine that we felt & experienced through it all. Her service was wonderful. I think the day was exactly as she would have wanted it...to be surrounded by friends, family, fond memories, laughter & lots of yummy food! My Mom did a wonderful job with the Eulogy & described Grandma & her life to a "T".
My Grandma was always up for a a good party & that is what Saturday felt like, minus the tears. It really was a wonderful day in which we were able to remember & honor her & spend time with family & friends.

These are the flowers that graced the top of Grandmas casket.

We were all able to place a few of these roses on her casket before she was laid to rest. It really was a wonderful day. Thanks again for all of the kind words, hugs, notes, & phone calls.

On to the weekend funnies. We had a little time to waste before the funeral. We ended up driving around town, showing the boys where we went to school & where we hung out, etc... We were stopped @ a light by a Home Depot. All of a sudden Garrett exclaimed "hey those guys are waiting to be picked for the football team". John & I turned around to see what he was referring to & there stood three different groups of labor workers, standing on the sidewalk in groups, waiting for work. We laughed so hard. In Garrett's eyes, men huddled together = a great football game waiting to be played.

Then on Sunday evening, I was going through the Sunday paper & Brody noticed Steve Martin on the cover of the Parade magazine. He immediately began to yell "Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa". I am not sure what is funnier...1). that he thinks Grandpa looks like Steve Martin or 2). that Steve Martin looks my Dad. I think it must be the hair color-sorry Dad :). Brody did not just stop with the yelling of Grandpa's name, he then began to give Grandpa, aka Steve Martin kisses. It was very funny & tender.
