During the long absence we had from blogging (mid-October until now), a lot happened. The most noteworthy--sadly so--was the passing of my grandfather, Bruce F. Bauer, from pancreatic cancer. He was ninety-seven.
M. was able to take some pictures at the funeral last month, of which I'll post a couple. On the bright side of things, the extended Bauer family was in attendance, so we got to be together for the first time in years.
I was asked to be among the pallbearers.
My grandfather retired from the Air Force Reserve as a lieutenant colonel, and he was buried with military honors.
We were happy to be together, even though we wished the circumstances could've been different.
...the extended Bauer clan. (Cory was swimming at the time.)
On the way back to Mississippi, we had a layover in The Great Arctic North, and M.'s family was nice enough to come to the airport and hang out for a half-hour or so.
This one's a little blurry, but it was the best of everyone.
...M. and her sister, Sweetheart Cupcake Star (hereafter known as SHCC*).
Thanks to everyone who went out of their way to see us--we love you all.
-J.
