My readers will notice in the coming days that I seem to be a little bit mixed up, because I have many posts to write about events which occurred before this one. But, my brain is a little bit scattered (what's new) and I'm an external processor as you all know (because really what other type of person has a blog?) and so please just hang in there.
Last week, the Kent family (minus Em-Sid-Dylan and Will-Cassi) went to Hood Canal to put Grandma's ashes in with Grandpa. Aunt Jan and Uncle Vyn have a place there and we've all been going for years, so it made a lot of sense to say goodbye to Grandma there.
Aunt Jan did a great job planning Grandma's final send-off, and Mom did a great job documenting it. Kudos also to our skipper Raymond who let both Lizzie and Tommy steer (Lulu in a squiggly line and Tommy in a circle).
I looked back at these pictures and was pleased to see that we all mostly look happy in them -- it was a nice morning and that seems like what Grandma would've wanted it to be...

| See the Blue Heron on the boat? We must've seen 50 of them. Or the same few multiple times over the week. |
 |
| Uncle Don almost fell off. Except not really. |
 |
| Preparing the biodegradable lanterns. |
 |
| Teaching a six-year old how to use a corkscrew on a bottle of Two Buck Chuck, Grandma's favorite. |
 |
| Max - everybody's new best friend - and Lulu. |
 |
| We each threw a handful of ashes in. |
 |
| Lulu had ashes in her hair and all over her lifejacket. A tiny bit gross. |
