We have been busy with all the events that are life, the events that give us pause for reflection and the events the give us milestones of celebration. We headed back to EC to Celebrate the long and story-filled life of Grandpa Daryl. He would have liked nothing more than to know that even in his passing that family gathered for the event. We told some great stories and laughed as we worked through the grief in our own ways filling Grandma and Grandprize's house in the process.
It was a quick trip over and back. While Merrick chose not to go to homecoming Grace wasn't about to miss it. Her and her friends were making bouquets at the house and then all met over at Lambeau for photos. Amy and I went to capture a few shots and had to hit Hobby Lobby on the way for a wardrobe malfunction kit. Grace was completely unfazed by getting stitched up in the atrium before her gang headed off to chick a filet for a pre dance meal.
Somewhere in those events we also drove north looking for the northern lights, we did see them, albeit wispy and light rather than bold and trippy. Shelly came for a visit as well, that too was a whirlwind stopping first in EC to pick up Ella and then an over and back trip with Missy in the same day for a quick visit. Life is made up of all these little moments, the fodder of thoughts as you look toward the night sky and strain for either more boldness or find contentment in the wisps and subtle shimmers of light.
