Funerals

Just to answer the poll I had going to the side here...What is my book about? The answer is 'intergalactic vampires.' Thank you to those who participated.
So I have just returned from the second funeral in two weeks. The first time was in Cedar City, and the second was in Las Vegas. What an emotional rollercoaster. My sympathies to the families.
On a happier note, I have had an opportuniy to see much of my wonderful close and extended family. I love them all so much. It was so nice to see Gary, Jeremy, Wende and Heather. What stupendous people. I won the family lottery.
And a quick shout out to my old friend, who is practically my brother, Jason Linebarger. He paid for Ben and I to go and see the Titanic Exibition. Thanks, Jason! It was a really emotional exibition, and really well put together. It's also haunted. Brahahahaha!
Our computer is fixed and back! I don't know if my flashdrive is compatable, so I can write on the laptop, but I will find out tomorrow. Cross your fingers, people!
I had my orientation for my job as a Teacher's Aid at Redwood Elementary today. I LOVE my boss. She is so kind and intelligent. The whole crew of workers all seem so pleasant... I look forward to working with them!
Joke of the day:
A first grade teacher had twenty-five students in her class and she presented each child in her class the first half of a well known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you.
While reading these keep in mind that these are first graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic !
