I went to a funeral today.

It was a moving ceremony and very well done. After the service the traditional light lunch was served. I found I couldn't walk down the hallway to the food. Everyone wanted to talk. Cousins, highschool friends, strangers I had never met before all wanted to chat. It was wonderful. The only problem was I didn't get to talk to many people I saw and wanted to chat with. Every time I would move in their direction someone else would stop me and chat. I learned about this years field crops, tornadoes that missed on couple's farm, sickness and health and sore backs.
