Diesel Fuel and a Funeral

Today my Grandma Jackie, Granddaddy Thomas, Cinni-Mini, & Will.i.am traveled to Denton, NC to attend my great-great aunt's funeral.  Aunt Jewel lived a long and wonderful life and is now is in heaven with Uncle Quinnie.  Aunt Jewel was a wonderful artist and I will never forget her pink bathroom!

I did not attend the funeral because I had to teach my wonderful Sunday school class, but Cinni-Mini caught me up on the gossip!  As some of you may know the cost of a funeral is extremely high, so Aunt Jewel wrote in her will that she wanted to be creamated.  My mom and Granddaddy had the following conversation about creamation....

Cinni-Mini:  Aunt Jewel probably wanted to be creamated because it is so much cheaper...
Granddaddy Thomas: The price of diesel fuel is pretty high these days..
Cinni-Mini: what does that have to do with anything?
Granddaddy Thomas: They had to use something to get her to fit in that little box.....how do you even know that's her in that box?

Needless to say Granddaddy Thomas does not want to be creamated!

Tomorrow is my last day at home and I have enjoyed seeing some of the family!  And just in case y'all missed the game on Saturday...ECU beat NCSU!!! Arrggghhh

Sissy Ducks,
