We did just about nothing today.
My dad napped on the couch most of the day, waking to check on football scores every once in a while.
Lisa slept in and lounged.
I hosted and rested. I've had some sort of company now for over a week.
My mom busied herself. She washed some of my silk greenery. Took down a valance and washed it and put it back up. At first I didn't understand why. I'm not a bad housekeeper! She explained that she wanted to do something for me. Her sister's daughter was gone and would never be able to do anything for her anymore, and she just wanted to do a 'mom thing' or two for me. Interesting thing--grief. It's different for all of us. The she got really sick and had to lay down for a few hours. Everything was finally catching up with her. It's been a lot!
Duff and Mike and Josh took off early for Las Vegas and the BYU game. They'll be home tomorrow.
No lacrosse today, which was good timing.
Lisa was craving meatloaf, so I happily obliged for a completely comforting weekend meal. It also happens to be Grandpa's favorite dinner! We use his mother's recipe and it is the best in our opinion! It was the first dinner my mom ever cooked for my dad when they were dating, and she called his mom for the recipe to impress him. I think it worked, don't you?

The picture above is all the breast cancer awareness stickers and ribbons that Jennifer and Julie made for everyone to wear at the funeral. An appropriate reminder of Wendy. Lisa brought pink earth-friendly bags for everyone, and Kristin made the family gals all pink pearlish necklaces to wear. She is really good at jewelry!
We watched the BYU game, and Meredith and Adrianne came over for dinner and to visit with Auntie and Grandma and Grandpa. Yay, for the win!
