We have returned from Seattle where we took care of the business of providing for Tracy's final resting place. We have returned with her ashes which will be dispersed at a location to be determined. Needless to say, it was a horrible trip and one that we hope never to have to repeat and one we would not wish on anyone. We are thankful that there were family, friends and caring people to help along the way to make sure that we had the strength to carry on with all the arrangements and to help soften the blow of this loss.
Kristine did really well holding up through all the activities to help make the arrangements and insure that we had everything we needed. The hotel where we stayed - and where Kristine is now employed - was terrific and we had the opportunity to spend some time with her at both her work:
and outside of work. The father of her good friend, Taylor, graciously made the plaque in the photo above.
It rained the entire time we were in Seattle (what else is new) and, unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to spend time with the grand kids. That will be reserved for the next trip which we hope will be under more pleasant circumstances.
Our flight home yesterday provided some excellent views of the Cascade Mountains and Rocky mountains and the skies cleared enough for us to take some photos of the beauty we enjoyed all the way home:
Including these shots of the Grand Canyon:
It's back to normal again - if there is such a thing...
