Funeral

Hi again.

Right now I'm sitting on a hotel bed in Cleveland. We're here for Grandpa's funeral, which was today at 3:00. Aunt Vee and Uncle Moe are here from California, and Lila spent all of yesterday annoying them. We played 3 games of capture the flag (me and Lila against Austin) and then went to the viewing. 

Grandpa's in a really huge oak casket, which has an ornate carving of a menorah on the side. On top of the casket there's an American flag, because he was in the army. I don't know when,- now it seem obvious I should've asked him, but Dad said it was a sore topic.

His body was laid out in all likenesses of a board, his hands at his sides, his back as straight as a back could possibly be. It was crooked in real life. His eyes were obviously closed, and his nose kind of stuck out like a hook.

Anyway, I'll skip the rest of the boring stuff. (I just felt like ranting.) The funeral was really nice- there was a cantor, and she read all these quotes about what people said about Grandpa. We went to the cemetery in  a limo (a limo!) which was really cool because there were tinted windows and a TV. We got to throw dirt on the casket at the burial site. 

Ok, that's all I can write because my parents are coming and I'm not allowed to have a blog. Sorry about the boring content. Bye!
