The first day of snow. Winter is here. I raked a big chunk of leaves two days ago...just in time! Visiting the cemetery now will really bring back memories from last winter!
Yesterday I went to the Grand Rapids Art Museum with my friend Drew. They had the Lady Diana exhibit there. It was quite amazing. Over 150 personal artifacts, letters to her parents when she was a child, gowns, jewels and even the famous wedding dress. It was really amazing to stand within inches of that famous dress. To think she wore that on that famous day, July 29, 1981 - I remember that day myself. Afterward we went to the Amway Grand Hotel and had a drink, then to a great neighborhood restaurant in Grand Rapids called "The Green Well." By the time we left it was packed and there were people waiting....this was on a Tuesday night in December. Must be popular. At 8:00 we went to Friedl's to have dessert and watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It was a great day. I really enjoyed myself.
Today I will go to shopping in Holland for food for the Dickens Dinner this weekend. I already picked up the duck.
Ten days until the one year anniversary of Ray's surgery. I was reading my blog from last December and it really chocked me up. As bad as it makes me feel I have this urge to read it. Maybe it's like looking at a bad accident. It is horrible to look at but there is this urge and curiosity about it. I have to look back and re-experience my feelings. I need to do it. To relive the memory. So, my emotions are a roller coaster. I am doing good though. I have grief counseling tomorrow, I look forward to it. - Jimmy
