jennlkThanks for all your notes of sympathy last week. It did help.
Had a decent turnout of my dad's friends for the visitation and gathering afterward.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
johnridley found somebody to geek with, while my sis and Mum and I mingled. Which was, honestly, what Mum wanted: "a bunch of his friends sitting around and talking about what a nice guy he was..." A bunch of Anne's HS friends showed up, so they spent some time catching up. The kids were fairly well behaved. DB spent most of his time snitching fruit and cheese off the trays, but he did get some of the toys out of the toy table in the living room. SR was charming and polite, and giggled at the appropriate places in the stories that Dad's college buddies were telling (and the stories than Anne's friends were telling).
I was late to the lawyer's appointment on Thursday -- I allowed an hour to get there (which should have been more than enough), and between the truck on N Territorial and construction and a fire truck on Ford Rd (and not knowing exactly where I was going, which cost me 5 more minutes), I was 25 minutes late. Fortunately, both the lawyer and the investment specialist drive N Territorial on a regular basis, and understood the difficulty. (Once you've committed to going across on N. Terr, there is no other way to go, even if you're behind a truck going 35 mph.)
