FCC and I went up to Railhead Friday morning to attend the interment of Ma.
We gathered at the homestead, met with other members of the family and travelled together to the graveyard together. After a short service, we returned to the house for some food and have a second look at the changes wrought by Charity and Kong, FCC's niece and her husband.
The changes were amazing and actually helped in the grieving process. The house was no longer Ma's, it was the home of Charity, Kong, and their kids.
A side word about Kong. He makes a fearsome first impression. It reminded me of a quote from Lyle Alzado quite a few years ago when asked if he thought he was tough. His response was, "Well, let me put it this way. If King Kong and I went into a dark alley, only one of us would come out, and it wouldn't be the monkey!" In the case of nephew Kong, Lyle may not have made it out.
Kong looks like he would fit in with the Hell's Angels, but you couldn't meet a nicer guy.
Anyway, after a lovely visit, it was off to Grand Lapin to spend quality time with FCC's brother, Hitch, and his wife, Lutgarde. We played trivial pursuit, talked, and ate. All in all, a pleasant weekend.
Time to get back at it though.
Later, Mushers!
