[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:11:59 PM] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:11:59 PM] <Shiral> Um, Did Duncan baptize the eggs witha bucket??
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:12:04 PM] <Shiral> Happy Easter, KK
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:12:08 PM] <Evie> Hi KK
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:12:16 PM] <anlarye> hi KK
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:12:20 PM] <KK> Hello, all.

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:12:28 PM] <KK> Happy Easter!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:12:35 PM] <Evie> Happy Easter!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:12:42 PM] * Shiral offers KK a dark chocolate easter bunny
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:12:43 PM] <anlarye> Happy Easter
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:13:18 PM] <Evie> https://flic.kr/p/nfVjbX Duncan's Easter Portrait
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:13:43 PM] <KK> Instead of Easter candy, I had a Sweet Frog frozen yogurt with lots of shaved chocolate an wet walnuts on top. Yum!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:13:58 PM] <Evie> that sounds lovely
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:13:58 PM] <Kelric> almost the end of my semester... lesse what's left to do.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:14:06 PM] <Shiral> Did Duncan baptize the walnuts, too? =o)
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:14:34 PM] <Kelric> 1: finish a single round of Jeopardy to run on Final day.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:14:52 PM] <Evie> It was sooo cold this week, then it began warming up this weekend, and we had short sleeve weather today
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:14:52 PM] <Shiral> I assume Sweet Frog is a local Frozen Yogurt establishment?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:14:53 PM] <Kelric> 2: Run a medieval times lesson plan on Tuesday for same class as #1
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:15:10 PM] Join mib_i14taw has joined this channel (Mibbit@OWIRCN-5dcf5375.ma.comcast.net).
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:15:13 PM] <Kelric> 3: write a philosophy of ed statement for a different class.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:15:22 PM] <Jemler> hi bee
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:15:26 PM] <Shiral> Hello Bee
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:15:39 PM] <Kelric> 4: finish group presentation and my portion of group paper on Common Core.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:15:44 PM] <Evie> Welcome, um...Bee?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:15:49 PM] <Kelric> that's pretty much it
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:16:03 PM] <KK> Yep, Shral. Moved into the area a couple of eyars ago. We had none prior.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:16:16 PM] <Shiral> I finished my quilted wall hanging for my front vestibule
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:16:25 PM] <KK> Evie, I like Duncan's Easter portrait. New vestments?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:16:33 PM] <Shiral> I've never seen Sweet Frog on the West Coast

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:16:40 PM] <Evie> No, same ones. I haven't got back into sewing yet.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:16:46 PM] <Evie> almost able to, though.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:17:17 PM] <Evie> I had trouble finding the vestments this morning, then I remembered Cardiel had borrowed them.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:17:22 PM] <Shiral> They have some impressive Azaleas decorating that Outdoor Altar
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:17:25 PM] <Evie> so I really need to make more
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:17:40 PM] <Evie> Thank you! Those are around a tree in my front yard
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:17:54 PM] <KK> I guess it just looks more flamboyant in the new pose. And I like the purple nail polish!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:17:56 PM] <Evie> the yard is in sad shape, but fortunately you can't tell from that photo
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:18:04 PM] <Shiral> My Azalea kicked into high gear this month. BRIGHT Pink flowers all over it
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:18:15 PM] <Evie> LOL! It's white polish with gold flecks today for Easter.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:18:56 PM] <KK> Ah. Is there a picture of that? I do remember the purple polish from...6 weeks ago.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:19:03 PM] <Evie> There's a confused voice in my head saying "I'm wearing purple nail polish?" No, not you, Duncan. Me.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:19:15 PM] <Evie> Yes, hang on....
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:19:32 PM] <Evie> https://flic.kr/p/ndfxXf
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:20:00 PM] <Evie> I was originally just going to do Lenten and Easter nails, but since I've got other colors of polish, now I'm considering doing the full liturgical year
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:20:29 PM] <Evie> Since I come from a background that didn't observe the Church seasons, I figure it will help make me more mindful of them.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:20:44 PM] <Shiral> Somewhere a nail polish company CEO is saying "Why didn't any of YOU think of Liturgical Nail Polish???"
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:21:02 PM] <KK> Oh, yes.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:21:08 PM] <Evie> LOL!!! That's because most nail polish company CEOs probably aren't as weird as I am.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:21:18 PM] <KK> Well, they should be.

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:21:48 PM] <Shiral> A small but vital untapped market for Nail Polish
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:21:55 PM] <KK> Indeed.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:22:09 PM] <Jemler> how many priests wear nail polish?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:22:28 PM] <KK> Many of the female persuasion.

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:22:29 PM] <Evie> I don't know what it is with me staying up until ridiculous hours on Easter morning to do weird things. A few years ago I was finishing Duncan's mitre at 2:00 am. This year I was repainting my nails.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:22:29 PM] <Shiral> I'd guess the number is quite small
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:22:54 PM] <Shiral> Must be a form of Spring Fever
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:23:18 PM] <Evie> There are also a lot of Catholic and Episcopal/Anglican women who might want Liturgical Nail Polish
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:23:29 PM] <KK> Well, flamboyant colors on the altar probably wouldn't be appropriate, Too distracting, just like too much jewelry.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:23:40 PM] <Shiral> This is true. A clear indication of why we need more women in the clergy

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:24:12 PM] <Evie> Duncan is wearing my cross pendant for a pectoral cross because i couldn't find his original one. But I think the amber stones suit his vestments better than the ruby red stone in his original round Celtic cross

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:24:33 PM] <Evie> Or maybe they're shiral stones

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:24:53 PM] <Shiral> Wouldn't put it past Duncan
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:25:07 PM] <Jemler> yellow beads! i forgot to get a picture of them for you evie!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:25:40 PM] <Evie> I'm pretty well stocked on amber colored beads at the moment
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:25:55 PM] <Shiral> Alaric might have given such a cross to Duncan as an inside joke
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:26:02 PM] <anlarye> cell internet keeps dropping on me. hate dead zones

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:26:59 PM] <Evie> Most people might assume they're amber instead of shiral. And by the mid to late 1130s he might be able to get away with wearing shiral openly, given the changes in Gwynedd by 1128
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:27:17 PM] * Evie passes bynw the duct tape
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:27:47 PM] <Shiral> True enough
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:28:43 PM] <Evie> I tend to think of the Mini-Deryni as being post-KKB. Duncan could really use a few silver strands in his hair, but I'm too afraid of messing up another doll head.

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:29:09 PM] <Evie> hi Laurna!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:29:13 PM] <Shiral> Hi Laurna
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:29:17 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Laurna.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:29:21 PM] <Laurna> Happy Easter everyone
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:29:36 PM] <Evie> Well, Deryni do seem to have very long lifespans if they don't get burned at stakes or fall prey to incurable diseases
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:29:43 PM] * Shiral snaps fingers and produces a stocked Easter Tea Table
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:29:50 PM] <Evie> so maybe that also comes with a tendency to look young for their age

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:32:03 PM] <Evie> Hm. I think I actually do have a 1:6 Yoda around here somewhere. Yoda and Duncan meditating together or sharing a moment would be a cute photo scene
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:32:27 PM] <KK> Great minds....
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:32:31 PM] <Evie> I also have a Luke Skywalker
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:32:46 PM] <Evie> I think I took a photo of him with Alaric once
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:32:51 PM] <Evie> Let me see if I uploaded that
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:33:05 PM] <anlarye> thats cool

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:34:44 PM] <Kelric> who knows, with luck I'll have a summer library job in a few weeks.

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:35:09 PM] <Evie> I used to dream of working in a library. *sigh*
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:35:11 PM] <KK> Cool photo. And I like Alaric's rose belt buckle.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:35:14 PM] <anlarye> i am
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:35:42 PM] <Laurna> That will be a fun job. lots of reading
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:35:45 PM] <Evie> The rose is actually a jewelry clasp with a sort of S shaped hook in back. It's very versatile.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:35:53 PM] <Jemler> mib_vc3cgj, is that you bee?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:36:10 PM] <Evie> I bought a pack of three and wish I could find more, because they make great belt buckles
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:36:14 PM] <anlarye> but its gopd to be in chat on a sunday again
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:36:25 PM] <anlarye> good too
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:36:34 PM] <Evie> It's gopd to see you too.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:36:44 PM] <Shiral> Ah, well Laurna the reality of Library work is while you're AT work there really isn't time for reading. However, I am always finding interesting things to check out
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:37:17 PM] <Evie> Tomorrow is the first candidate interview for my prospective future boss. We have three candidates
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:37:18 PM] <Laurna> You'll get lots of insights about what people like
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:37:37 PM] <Jemler> remember to truth-read them, evie.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:37:42 PM] <Laurna> You've been without a boss for this long.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:37:48 PM] <Evie> We had four, but one accepted a job at Princeton and stepped out of the running, unfortunately AFTER I had already bought his plane ticket and hotel reservation
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:37:48 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:38:01 PM] <Evie> Oh I WISH I could Truth-Read them!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:38:01 PM] <Shiral> Often I find things I'll Like when I'm helping somebody else look for a book
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:38:15 PM] <Shiral> Annoying of him
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:39:04 PM] <Shiral> KK have you met your new editor, yet?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:39:09 PM] <Evie> I can get our account credited, but what was annoying was that he didn't tell me right away after he accepted the other job. he waited until I called him to get his lunch order for his interview day.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:39:13 PM] <Laurna> Will the job start during the slow summer months

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:40:08 PM] <Shiral> Just as well you won't have to work for HIM
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:40:13 PM] <Jemler> did you get a refund for his ticket?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:40:15 PM] <KK> She's in NY, Shiral, and I'm in VA, so it may be some time before we meet face to face.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:40:36 PM] <Evie> It's in process, jemler. That shouldn't be a problem.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:41:05 PM] <Shiral> True
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:41:10 PM] <Evie> If she has Skype or some other chat software, maybe you could meet "face to face" without ever leaving VA

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:42:56 PM] <Laurna> What a beautiful lazy day now that the family has gone home.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:42:57 PM] <KK> It isn't really critical.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:43:27 PM] <Evie> my kids went in separate directions after church today, so DH and I have the house to ourselves
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:44:00 PM] <KK> Nice, Evie. (But we really do need to do something about his skullcap, something thinner. Right now, it keeps me thinking of a pancake.)
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:44:16 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:44:18 PM] <anlarye> lol
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:44:34 PM] <Evie> LOL! I know. Maybe the purple silk will work if I can sew the gores together without the seams fraying
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:44:43 PM] <Shiral> Well... Maybe St. George's is having a Fundraising Pancake breakfast and Duncan gets too enthusiastic with the pancake turnker
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:44:51 PM] <Shiral> Turner, too
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:44:56 PM] <Evie> the problem is finding any suitable fabric that will work on that scale
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:46:26 PM] <Evie> and also, since he doesn't really have a tonsure, it sits on his hair rather than nestling on a bald spot with his hair growing around it, and that does make a difference in the look.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:46:45 PM] <anlarye> my 3g might die again
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:47:03 PM] * Evie gives it some tonic
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:47:27 PM] <Evie> would ward cubes help your 3G?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:48:01 PM] <KK> Maybe use fray-check on the edges, and then put them together with fabric glue. It would be mega-fiddly, but it might work. Or mold one over something suitably spherical, and then peel it off.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:48:03 PM] <anlarye> hey that worked! got more bars again

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:48:19 PM] <Laurna> i think ward cubes would isolate him from us completely
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:48:25 PM] <Kelric> noting that I've been out of the loop for a while as going back to school full time working towards a HS Math teaching cred takes a ton of time out of you, have we seen any of the Deryni stuff in official ebook format yet?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:48:43 PM] <Evie> yes, I have some of the book in ebook form
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:48:59 PM] <Evie> Let's see...the Kelson novels are all in ebook, and also ITKS and CM
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:49:07 PM] <KK> Not yet. But The King's Deryni is in the production loop, scheduled for Dec. 2 release.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:49:09 PM] <Evie> no Camber era books yet

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:49:56 PM] <KK> I think we've just signed for audible books for the current trilogy.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:50:11 PM] <anlarye> i ran across a bunch of them in pdf format years ago
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:50:37 PM] <KK> And Lammas Night is now optioned for a movie. Keep fingers crossed.

[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:53:45 PM] <Jemler> that has to be bee. same ip addr
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:53:58 PM] <anlarye> my girls are missing me
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:54:03 PM] <KK> Reminds me of that wonderful current commercial, for Home Depot, I think, where the dad puts on a welding mask and wields a fluorescent tube at his kids, saying, "Children, I. Am. Your father."
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:54:35 PM] <Evie> LOL! Have I told you my story about my DS when he was a toddler, and DH dressing up as Darth Vader?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:54:50 PM] <KK> No. Tell!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:55:05 PM] <Jemler> she just did!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:55:38 PM] <Evie> OK. When DS was little, he was a major Star Wars fan like his mama. And so he would watch Star Wars with his toy lightsaber and make Jedi fighting motions when the fight scenes came on...
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:56:09 PM] <Evie> Well, DH has this Darth Vader helmet in the basement, and also a black cloak. So he got the bright idea of dressing up as Darth VAder one day and joining in the fun
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:56:33 PM] <Jemler> you can see lightsaber duels on youtube. some are pretty good.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:56:45 PM] <Laurna> sounds fun
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:56:53 PM] Join charmander has joined this channel (Mibbit@OWIRCN-5dcf5375.ma.comcast.net).
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:56:57 PM] <Evie> So there's DS jumping around the living room with his lightsaber one morning, and suddenly we hear the sound of heavy breathing coming up the stairs. It's DH, dressed from head to toe as Vader. "Luke, I am your father!"
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:57:22 PM] <Laurna> Run and hide time!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:57:27 PM] <Evie> DS takes one look at Vader coming up the stairs toward him, his eyes get wide, and he runs to the corner of the room and takes up a defensive stance with the lightsaber!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:57:41 PM] <charmander> Hello. Am I finally here?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:57:44 PM] <anlarye> awesome
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:57:45 PM] <Jemler> hi bee
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:57:50 PM] <Evie> DH, feeling horribly guilty for frightening the poor kid, takes off the helmet. "No, really, I AM your father!"
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:57:50 PM] <Laurna> good for him
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:58:10 PM] Nick charmander is now known as the_Bee.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:58:11 PM] <anlarye> yes you Are here charmander
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:58:14 PM] <Evie> So once DS caught on, they had a fun time battling each other.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:58:18 PM] <Evie> (Welcome back Bee!)
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:58:30 PM] <Shiral> Hello Bee
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:58:40 PM] <Laurna> How many broken lamps?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:58:41 PM] <the_Bee> It's taken me nearly an hour to get into the chatroom!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:58:59 PM] <Laurna> Glad your here Bee
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:59:04 PM] <Jemler> i know. the ip addr matched.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:59:09 PM] <Evie> Fast forward a few months later. The special edition of The Empire Strikes Back had just come out. I took DS to what was his very first movie on the big screen. We walk into the lobby, and there is a guy wearing a Darth Vader suit.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:59:26 PM] <Evie> DS runs across the room, tackle-hugs the man's knees, and yells "DADDY!!!!"
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:59:27 PM] <Evie>
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:59:37 PM] <Laurna>
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:59:41 PM] <the_Bee> Me too. Thanks, Laurna. I just wish I know what went wrong.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:59:43 PM] <KK> LOL
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [07:59:49 PM] <Evie> The guy started laughing. "I've had a lot of strange reactions to this suit, but that's a first!"
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:00:04 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:00:07 PM] <Jemler> bad timing tho bee
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:00:14 PM] <KK> Cute.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:00:38 PM] <the_Bee> Seriously, anyone else been having trouble with the site?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:00:50 PM] <Evie> Fast forward several more years. A Star Wars fan club starts up in Alabama. I show up in Jedi clothing with my young 7 year old Padawan. This guy from the 501st is telling a story about the time he was dressed as Vader and a kid ran across the lobby and called him Daddy.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:00:56 PM] <Jemler> anlartye bounced in and out
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:01:00 PM] <Evie> "That was HIM!"
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:01:16 PM] <Evie> yeah, bynw is having trouble staying in chat too
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:01:33 PM] <Evie> but his cell connection keeps dropping, so I don't think it's the same reason
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:01:38 PM] <Laurna> That's good Evie
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:01:51 PM] <KK> That's cool, Evie.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:02:07 PM] <KK> Those 501st folk are wonderful.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:02:13 PM] <Evie> they are
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:02:15 PM] <anlarye> not the same reason there Jemler
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:02:58 PM] <the_Bee> mibbit took forever, and then all I got were ads
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:03:48 PM] <the_Bee> so what did I miss? KK, have you made plans for your stepmom's memorial?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:05:18 PM] <the_Bee> or already had it?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:05:36 PM] <KK> We've decided not to have one. COuldn't agree on a date, and my step-sister, who's the one dragging her feet, is the only one who really wanted one. I haven't gotten her reaction yet
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:06:26 PM] <the_Bee> I she your stepmom's only child?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:06:39 PM] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:06:46 PM] <Laurna> Does your dad need the closure or is it too soon for him to deal with that.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:07:03 PM] <KK> My dad doesn't want one, either, but was going to do it because his wife wanted it.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:07:56 PM] <KK> I'll go down for a few days next week, and my California sister will have to make her own arrangements. It was just getting too expensive and too full of hassles.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:07:58 PM] <Laurna> Maybe on the anniversary of her birthday you could all get together.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:08:16 PM] <the_Bee> She'd made her wishes known, then?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:08:21 PM] <KK> That would be the end of next month.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:08:29 PM] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:09:23 PM] <Evie> brb
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:09:31 PM] <anlarye> traffic jam. on the interstate
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:09:48 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, what fun.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:09:48 PM] <the_Bee> We interred my sister-in-law's ashes on what would have been their wedding anniversary.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:10:31 PM] <Evie> back. Sneaky Gigi attempting to steal the fake chick from DS's Easter basket again
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:10:43 PM] <the_Bee> I assume you meant the traffic jam, DR.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:11:01 PM] <KK> We may wait until my father passes, then put their ashes together and do something appropriate. They were an amazingly devoted couple and were married for more than 50 years.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:11:02 PM] <Laurna> That would be a hard day to chose, I think a celebration of life on her birthday anniversary would be nice.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:11:45 PM] <Shiral> This must be really hard for your Dad, KK
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:12:04 PM] <KK> Probably much harder than any of us realize.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:12:11 PM] <Evie> 50+ years is a good run.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:12:23 PM] <the_Bee> Has the shock worn off yet?
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:12:44 PM] <KK> It is. And she was nearly 85, facing increasing health issues.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:12:55 PM] <Shiral> To lose someone you love and rely on for over 50 years with so little warning--it can't help but be hard/
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:13:34 PM] <KK> He sounds pretty together, with occasional lapses when we'd talk about hymns and such.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:13:54 PM] <the_Bee> My mom would have understood that.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:14:35 PM] <KK> Anyway, I don't know if we'll ever be able to agree on a time when all three of us sisters can get together.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:16:15 PM] <KK> Oops, time (and past) for Once Upon a Time. See you guys next week, if I'm still in town.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:16:21 PM] <Evie> ok
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:16:34 PM] <Evie> Goodnight!
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:16:38 PM] <the_Bee> bye KK. Thanks for coming.
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:16:40 PM] <Shiral> Night, KK
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:16:43 PM] <Laurna> next week sounds good
[Sunday, April 20, 2014] [08:16:44 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, night, KK. Have a good week. Thanks for coming by.
