Exhaustion

I'm exhausted.  To be expected I suppose.  The funeral was lovely and I am so touched by all of those that were there or sent flowers.  Many thank yous to be made when I'm a bit more alert.

I'm very proud of my boys.

Here's Leo frowning, because well...he's Leo and he was personally insulted at having to tuck his shirt in.

Owen of course was in a helpful, cheerful mode, bringing the carseats over from the other car.

Here they after the cemetery...on our way to lunch....slightly untucked and more relaxed. Of course Leo's still frowning because....well, he's Leo and doesn't like having his picture taken. They were angels today though....gorgeous little boy angels.

On the way home from the cemetery Owen piped up and said if he had a fairy that would give him wishes he would wish that Grandpa was young and strong.  There was a long pause and then Leo said, "well, and alive."  I love my sweet peas.

I laughed out loud at that last bit. Very funny. Hope you're able to get some rest this weekend.

Your father is alive, I see him in these two beautiful little boy faces.

love you

Your boys will prove to be more of a comfort than you know. I see so much of my dad in Evan and it makes my heart happy.

I love the last bit. Made me laugh.

Try to rest - now comes the hard part, carrying on.

speaking from experience, those boys will save your soul....

Actually *those* particular boys, I suspect, are destined to save many souls.

Drive-in Theaters

  • Getting ready for the evening...
    My friend Eileen says that the reason I've been so obsessed with drive-in movie theaters is because my parents never took me to one as a kid. She's probably right. She usually is. Reportedly my older sisters went to the drive-in but I have no memory of it. The first time I remember going to the drive-in theater was with Eileen and I think it was the summer before college. I remember eating dried apricots and some kind of warm pop while watching a bad movie with a Cheap Trick song on the soundtrack..... My friend Alice and I were in grad school together in the late 80's outside Detroit. We ended up photographing drive-in movie theaters throughout the midwest as well as brief trips to various other spots. We always said we were going to write a book but we never did. I just dug out the slides I have though and man, there were some great drive-ins!!! It's been twenty years so of course many of these are gone I'd love to hear from anyone if they have drive-in anecdotes or know if any of these are still around. I took some of the photos, Alice took some---I'll do the Lennon/McCartney things and just list us both on all of them. She can always switch the order of names after I die.
