The sun is shining! It seems as if it's been so long. We love the winter, and really wouldn't mind another big snow storm, however, this change of weather has sure been delightful. We've been aching to get outside and play since the increase in temperature, and today we had a few minutes to do just that. Marc got a ripstick for Christmas and at first I was a bit hesitant, but we love it! We've been riding it in the garage with the vans, limo, and herse (luckily no damage was done when I lost control:). We hear this place is awesome in the summer because there are large grass areas (without headstones) and a lot of roads that are relatively unbusy to rollerblade, bike, jog, or ripstick. Today when Marc was beginning the rounds (the routine of locking up and cleaning up the mortuary at 5:00 when it closes) he called me to come down to the embalming room to see something. I went down there and there was a PINK casket! Not the usual wood ones either, it was like fabric, really soft material with roses and lace on it. I'd never seen anything quite like it! I wanted to take a picture, but I'm not so sure that would've been a very good idea:) They should make caskets more creative like this one more often. Marc and I have a great idea to start a casket rental business, for those of us that don't care how pretty the box is that is under the ground, only for the viewing. Along with this we would offer people to design their casket, like the pink one, or have cool designs carved in the wood...one day we'll be millionaires with our grandiose ideas!
