Friday Update

Well, mother is asleep in an Indiana hotel room whilst I have been crying my eyes out for an hour or so. I appreciate the time alone to cry.

I am moving pics from the SD cards to my laptop and will try to upload some tonight. I will have a private album for the boat pics where I scattered his ashes. I will be mailing the password out to those who knew Allen as I am sure you will want to feel as if you participated.

Mother and I had some good times in the midst of a sad purpose. I still can not articulate everything too well at the moment. I will probably blog in more detail on Sunday after my arrival home.

I will say that I was impressed with the hotel that Kim from the travel agency picked for mother and I. It was nice. I dreaded carrying our luggage to our hotel but found out that the Lake View had porter service to and from the ferry. Whew!! What a relief that was!!!!!

I got to see the Grand Hotel, Baxter's coin shop, and scattered Allen's ashes off the shore in the water by the lighthouse from the movie Somewhere in Time. Mother bought me a framed picture of Richard and Elise on the lighthouse shore which will promptly be hung in my living room upon my arrival home.

It is getting late and I need to burn these pics to a cd for mother before we get up at the crack of dawn for our journey home tomorrow.

A special note for Dianna: It is very beautiful on the island. I thought about you and how much you liked Allen. I will be mailing you the password on Facebook.

Night all.
