I haven't heard from Cindy yet, so today has just been a waiting game, doing other things to occupy myself, and my sister came by with a few things from my parents.
She had gone up to visit them last weekend, and brought me home some of my mom's most awesome blueberry muffins, some chocolate chip ones, a button up sweatshirt/jacket for me from my mom (thanks Mom!), and a painting my dad made for me.
I took a photo of it so you can see it.
I love it and am going to get it framed.
It's really so beautiful, I love it and you Dad!

The other picture is of my sister-in-law Heather's newest tattoo.
She wanted to honor GreatGram because Grammy raised Heather, she brought her up right, and even though they used to fight when Heather became a teen, Heather has turned out awesome.
She is an amazing mother to her son Sullivan who is just the coolest little 7 year old ever, and a great wife to her husband Sully.
Sully has a severe case of epilepsy, he is not allowed to work or drive, so he stays home and takes care of their son and the house, and Heather works as an industrial cleaner.
She cleans up mold in houses, water damage to homes and buildings, accident sites, crime scenes like murders and suicides, and many other disgusting type jobs.
She has a very hard job but she loves it and she makes incredible money doing it.
Her and her husband own their own home, they have a little farm with animals like chickens, pigs, cows, a goat, and they have a ton of pets.
She really is an amazing young woman.
I met Heather when she was just 11 years old, became her sister-in-law, and we have become truly great friends.
I love her more than I've probably told her, and I'm so so proud of the woman she has become.
She is covered in tattoos now, but they all have meaning, the names and faces of the people who mean something important in her life, so when she wanted to get GreatGram tattooed, on her body, as much as Grammy doesn't like tats, she felt honored that Heather wanted to have this done, so she told her to use a picture of when she was younger. (Gram is late 80's now)
She had a picture taken of it when it was just done, so there's a little bit of dried blood and some betadine on it, sorry, but it's a cool tat.

The painting is amazing!
Nice painting! Has your dad ever sold any of his pieces? I wouldn't mind owning one of his:)
Both that tat and the painting are so cool! Your dad's painting reminds me of Stars Hollow, from Gilmore Girls. During the opening credits of the show, they show a place very similar to the scene your dad painted, and I've always wanted to be right in the middle of it!
