Journal: Grandad's funeral

3:30am Wednesday 7 January 1998

(transcribed out of my diary)

This has been a great evening.
After the funeral and getting to ride in the limosuine, the most tear jerking thing was the bagpipes playing "Amazing Grace" as we left the church. I almost cried.
The burial ground was all sloppy muddy squishy cause it was raining just like at Monner's funeral.

We bummed around the Ockley house this night and ate and talked and Peter, Neil, Kim and I talked about chit chatty stuff and had a delightful time. I greatly believe we cousins will begin to get together more often.

I showed everyone the genealogy I copied and gave Martin his copy and will copy more for others who want copies.

Finally we cousins left: Peter, Neil, Kim and I to get a VCR and movies and came to the hotel and we all congregated: me, Fred, Bridgette, Buddy, Matt, Peter, Neil & Kim to watch our crazy videos and Pulp Fiction.

We had a great time and really fun wrestling on the beds, talking about old times, and planning to meet again soon.

At one point, the following conversation happened:

Fred: "Yeah, but a bigger penis doesn't hurt."
Bridgette: "Sometimes it does."
(laughter)
Rob: "Yeah- I hear that all the time."
Bridgette: "I didn't need to hear that!"
Fred: "I never tell you that."
Rob: "That's 'cause you're used to Pete."
Bridgette: "I really didn't need to hear that!!"

That was like 1am or so and we were really laffin crazy hard.

We determined the crazy fun videos span 4 years, but they are fully 10 years old!!!!!!!!!!
We definitely need to get together more often.

As Pulp Fiction ended, it was 3am. Matt and Buddy almost freaked (a lot or a little?) and were all "oh my god we can't wake up in only 5 hours!! blah blah blah" and Pete was all, "Aunt Jean told me not to let you stay up too late and I'll kick your ass if I get in trouble for you not waking up on time."

Pete and I laffed and gave each other five. Heh heh. Still the older cousins! HA!!!
