1/10/15 - On 1/3 was just a day spent around the RV and found a post office to mail a baby afghan and then found a great pie shop and of course had to buy some samples.

1/4 - I got a call early in the morning informing me that a first cousin of mine that is also short in statue had died in surgery.  It was quite a shock for me since I did not realize how ill she had been.  I then notified my siblings and pondered as to whether I wanted to make arrangements to fly to central Ohio.  After some discussion and notifications from other first cousins, it was decided that 3 of us from the Florida area would be attending the funeral.

1/5 -  I then spent some time on the internet trying to find the best schedule and the best fare.  The funeral was planned for Wednesday (1/7).

1/6 - Mary Grace, Esther and I left on Tuesday morning at 7:34am for Columbus, Ohio.  We arrived about an hour late since there was some issues in Chicago.  We were picked up by Alma Detweiler and had some dinner at the church and attended the calling hours.  It was EXTREMELY cold and blowing snow.
