Bruce's Aunt Mina would have loved her funeral this afternoon. It was snowy and beautiful, and when we arrived, there was no power at the church--hence, no heat The whole neighborhood's power was off, so we all kept our coats on, huddled up, and sent her out in a big way. At the reception afterward, we were all laughing about how she would have loved checking out who made the effort to come and who decided to bag it, due to the weather. She'd have been taking names for sure. But the best was when her adult grandson, Jeffery, asked the church reception ladies where the hot chocolate was. They told him it was right with the hot coffee--they never missed a beat. I love older Texas ladies....they can just roll with anything. Even no power and no heat. It was the perfect funeral for Aunt Mina--beautiful and offbeat, with a big dose of humor. She'd have loved it. Not a bad way to check out, when you think about it.
