Yeah, I don’t feel like pre writing a post for Monday. I’ll be down in Florida visiting the mother. Going down for my father’s unveiling even though it hasn’t been a full year and even though he’s in a wall 4 stories up. Don’t ask. Yes, I took a picture at the funeral. Right after my mother made a scene about not wanting to throw Israeli soil on the coffin because she’s American, not Israeli. Right after she made my husband find some Florida dirt and cousin Linda started gossiping about it.
I’m going to bring my Flip video with me. I bought the new toy months ago and never used it. Some family members might have conniptions if I start taping the unveiling, but I’ll try to get some good footage of the crazy Florida Jews somehow. I’ve gotta start using that camera.
Anyway, Happy Monday. I’ll be schvitzing down south with my goyishe mensche and my meshugine mispokhe.

Perfect timing, Phyllis, I’m going to be blogging about cemeteries, memorials, and other landscapes for remembrance today. I look forward to your follow-up posts and I hope it’s a good reunion with mom and other relatives.
You really are too much.
🙂
Hope that your reunion and unveiling went well (not sure “well” is a great word…when we unveiled my dad’s — and he wasn’t even Jewish! — a year later I was bawling like a baby)…and that you didn’t schvitz too much.
As usual, there was too much family drama to get upset about my dad. It was a nice ceremony though, a “healing” experience.
You and my Fiance would get along sooooo well.
