16 August 2010 - Emotional Day

Today was a very emotional day.  One of neighbors wife died last Friday after a year long battle with stomach cancer.  We attended the memorial service along with at least 300+ people.  This was by far the best memorial service that we have ever attend.  She was a remarkable lady and it was unfortunate that she was taken at only the age of 54.  She is survived by her husband of 22 years and her son who is 19.

Since it was Helen's birthday and our local movie theater has free tickets on your birthday, we went to the afternoon showing of "Eat, Pray, Love"  with  Julia Roberts.  If this movie does win an Oscar for "Best" you name it, I will be surprised.  Great story written by Elizabeth Gilbert and fantastic casting.  Helen read the book and we both have read the follow up book, "Committed" which will also probably be made into a movie.

After the movie, we were invited to a friends house for a Birthday dinner.
