Many people commented on what a good job the funeral home did on the montage at Jeannie’s funeral. I finally got the individual photos used to create it uploaded to my photo gallery. Click the photo at the left to see them.
Yesterday was four months since Jeannie passed away. Today would have been our 34th wedding anniversary. The picture at the left is obviously from early in our marriage. I chose to use it here because we ended up being as happy with each other as we look in this picture.
It seems like there are big empty spaces in my life now. I am reminded of it every time I open a closet door and see an empty shelf where Jeannie’s stuff used to be. Staying busy helps as does the support of family and friends.
Erin graduated from the University of Louisville yesterday with a Masters in Public Administration. I am very proud of her. Completing a degree while having a full time job is not an easy task.
I ran into a problem trying to get some photos of the event with my old digital camera. I was able to get a few shots with the cameras on my cell phones. The ones outside turned out good, but the ones indoors are pretty pitiful.
I found that my old digital camera has bit the dust. I couldn’t even get it working with brand new batteries. I thought I would have to to start shopping for a new one, but Erin said she has an old camera that I can have.
I had a good birthday yesterday. I took the day off from work and just relaxed. Jon and Erin took me out to dinner. We had sushi. Then we went to see the new Iron Man movie. They really did a good job on it. We thoroughly enjoyed it. To finish off the evening, we had some of the ice cream birthday cake that Jon and Erin got for me. The card they got for me says it all:
Birthdays
are good for you.
Statistics show that
people who have the
most live the longest!

Besides being my loving wife for the last 33 years, Jeannie was my best friend. Her boldness and outgoing personality were the perfect complement to my caution and shyness, She will be sorely missed.
I recently got an email from a friend with a link to https://www.bentbay.dk/uf_usa
I found a theme I like: Stardust by Tommaso Baldovino. I found some problems with it when I installed the Gallery2 plugin. After a few tweaks, I have it working correctly with my photo gallery.
