Saki with Sarah

2023, Hangouts, , , ,

Went to the restaurant Saki with Sarah and her husband David. We were cracking up a little because I was very rude and said the only thing I wanted to photograph was the sushi because it is the most beautiful thing in the picture, and Sarah was like THANKS FOR CALLING ME HIDEOUS.

We stayed over in Sarasota at my dad’s house after our mom’s viewing and had some yummy food at a restaurant (Ash was overwhelmed by a waffle!) and then they spent some time swimming and we even got to play Cards Against Humanity (family edition).

My mother’s ashes were committed to the Eternal Reefs project. My family attended the casting where we put her ashes into a solution to make a “pearl” and also decorated the collar of the reef ball.
