and there was this holiday, right?

I made this icon last night. Likey? The film so is making me feel the Ron-Padma love.

Spent a lovely T-day at casa de light_music, hanging with my lovely goddaughter, her sister and her parents. For reasons known only to Dionne, she'd decided I live in Brooklyn so there was a bit of a mix up in picking me up, but tromboneborges fixed everything and soon we were on the road. Thursday was a fun dinner with her family, and Friday we hung up decorations.

Saturday morning I returned a phone call from my sister-in-law and found out that my father had died in his sleep on Friday afternoon. My relationship with him was complicated and I really don't know how I'm feeling, nor do any of us kids.

Anyway, Saturday cassandraclaire came by and the three of us and D's SO saw GoF, and ate nachos. And then today CC, tromboneborges and I drove back here. Now I'm taking care of some things and tomorrow morning I'm off to the homestead to deal with things there. Unfortunately said homestead is in the middle of nowhere so cell reception will be spotty and the internet hookup is a dialup so I'm not sure how the chatting will go, so I may be entirely out of commission while I'm up there. Hope to be back by Friday; keep the home fires burning for me, won't you?
