We left home at 430 AM for our flight to RI today. The Park N Relax lot was pretty full which was surprising but this was just the tip of the iceberg. The line at Southwest went from the ticket counters to the escalators. We stood in line almost 30 minutes to check in. My bag was tagged late check in but it made it to RI. The flight was mostly smooth with a few moments of choppiness. At the Baltimore stop to change planes we picked up coffee and biscuits at mcDonalds in the one hour between flights. Baltimore has a very nice airport. In RI we had a long wait at the Enterprise counter. I think RI has the dumpiest of the airports.
We had lunch with George and Sue and Bruce at Brookdale. I had a turkey, avocado and bacon sandwich with corn chowder soup and chips. It was a lot of food. We went down and saw Barbara and the kids at Barb's house. They made some very nice poster boards for the funeral home.
We went to calling hours at 4 in a steady rain. The line to greet Barbara was long. Bil had many, many friends. We met the Naragansett chorus director, Bill's photo teacher, the Munks from Annapolis as well as Bill's partner Ken Rix and a host of other people. We left shortly before 6 to join Mary and John as well as Sue and Bruce and George in the private dining room at Brookdale for Pizza and beer. It was a nice party. After the party we drove down to Barbs to sit and chat for a while. It was a crazy place with all the grand children running around. We left there in a light rain and back to our apartment. I noticed that our home in Apex received over an inch of rain at 8 PM this evening. The crawl humidity is holding at 79%.
