Today was a nice day at home . Except for going out in the rain to get firewood, though that warm heat is nice.
Received a nice email from rv girl. Hope she and baby can come next weekend.
And in the research dept. , www.crossings.net
has nice articles and links about , yes, home funerals ! It is a growing , old fashioned movement.
And here all this time , I was thinking of pre-planning and giving big bucks to a funeral director . Forget that, it is natural to do this at HOME, embalming is a highly unnatural process and not required or necessary, you are allowed to build your own casket, or you can buy one online for $500! You can designate your own funeral 'director'. The impersonal, funeral homes want 2000$ up front , forget them. Guess these kind of thoughts come because I'm crossing the big 50 mark this year.
Frostbrn, keep this one for the archives .
