7/30/15 - On 7/26, I went to church with cousin Onita.  We came home and made dinner and then sat and talked and talked.   I had also learned that early morning, that my Uncle Lee Schlabach had passed away, so we started to look for tickets for me to go to Phoenix.  Since he had donated his body to science, I was told that the memorial service would be held later but I soon learned that because of many various family schedules, it was much better to arrange a memorial service right away.  So I spent many an hour trying to find the best deal.

7/27 - I learned that the memorial service was planned for 7/30 so knew I had better get a ticket soon.  We did some more research and I soon had a ticket leaving Wednesday afternoon.  

7/28 - Onita's son Shay had a doctor's appointment in Missoula (about 50 miles) north so I went with them for the ride.  Onita and also stopped off at the dairy queen.  It was great.  She had a school board meeting that evening so I got to packing some clothes to get ready to leave the next day.

7/29 - I finished my packing and decided to do some dishes but since it has been rather chilly in the morning,  I had a little heater going, the TV going and decided to run the mircowave for a little hot water and soon  I had no electricity!!  Stan (Onita's husband) came by, we did some elimination regarding what could be the problem to soon learned that I must have tripped the breaker.  Sure enough so now I know what that outlet can handle!!  Anyway, we sat on the front porch and did some visiting, had some lunch and then off to the airport.  Onita drove my car since Stan wanted to change the oil in her car.  I took off for Salt Lake at 5:50pm.  Got to Salt Lake and since I was on a small commuter flight, I had a LONG walk to the terminal to learned that I had to walk two more terminals before I would be at gate C-12!!  I did not have any time to be slow but did get to the gate before they started to board.  I was able to change my seat assignment so I could have a window seat which was great.  We got into Phoenix on time and I met up with my brother Daniel from Delaware and my Aunt Esther from Cleveland.  We all were picked up by cousins Rick and Robyn.

7/30 - today is the memorial service at 6:00pm and I am writing this at 3:00pm.  Since everyone is traveling from the east and with time changes, everyone is resting so decided to write a little.
