Friday I attended a friends funeral, and although I felt surrounded in love...my heart was crushed and I really can't make it through any rendition of "amazing grace" without losing it. Chris Littlefield was one of the two bosses at Hill Physicians and died of a sudden heart attack. Boy this was just shocking and the tremors are still being felt. I don't cope well in public when "big things" are going on, so the best thing Rich and I thought to do was stay busy. So Friday afternoon we started working on the guest room. Plus his sister and bro in law were scheduled for a visit the next day....
Saturday we woke early, started on the room and ended in cleaning the house. Tom and Cookie showed up with beer in hand (genius) and willing to have a full Marck Adventure. So given the unbearable heat, Cookie suggested going to the river. So we're were like... lets walk upstream, jump in and float back down to our house. IT WAS FREEZING but the numbness became familar and comfortable...we were the floating four heads bobbing down the river...it was just what we needed. Once back home it was time to go to Oto's cuz Cookie and Tom wanted sushi. And of course Rich was in, with bells on! We just love these twoooo and together we just laugh, trade stories, eat and drink. Plus the sushi was PERFECT! We capped the night with BBC's An evening with Johnathan Ross (I love that show)
It all was soooo sudden and then they had to leave...so all in all-very productive weekend with a splash with our fav family!!!! When your heart needs pure joy and healing...Cookie is the "go to!' and for that she has a very special place in our hearts and lives.
