Last weekend we made the trip to Ohio for the memorial service for Mark’s dad. We left on a Thursday afternoon and spent the night in Morgantown, WV, and finished up the rest of the ride on Friday morning. We got to relax on Friday, the girls drove the golf cart around Nana and PaPaw’s yard, and we went out to dinner with Nana on Friday evening. We got to see Mark’s sisters Deb and Tonya after dinner on Friday night, then we all reconnected again at the church on Saturday morning for the memorial.
The memorial service was very nice, and Mark did a really nice job speaking for his family in giving a memorial tribute to his father. It was an emotional time, but he did a great job sharing about his dad. The many friends and family that gathered for the memorial had a lunch together at the church after the service, then the family went back to Nana’s house to spend time together.
Before we changed into our comfy clothes for the rest of the afternoon, we got some picutures together. Here we are with Nana, and Mark’s sister Deb, and her two girls Issy and Annie (Deb’s husband, Rick, was taking the picture for us).
After hanging with family on Saturday, we had to get on the road Sunday morning. It was an 8 hour drive home, so needless to say, we were all happy to be out of the car once we got home. The other very happy family member was Cayenne. She had been staying at Mousey and Poppy’s house, and while I know she got spoiled and had tons of fun with Maggie, she evidently didn’t sleep too well on her first time away from home and family. My mom had dropped her off at our house right before we got home from Ohio, so she was very excited and happy to see us, then she followed us to whatever room we went it but fell asleep everywhere she went. I definitely think her sleepover camp wore her out!
That pup missed her family for sure!!!
