Mindy was early to pick me up and then we picked up Terry. Our flight was delayed, we didn’t leave till 1 o’clock when we were supposed to leave a little after 11. The pilot was supposed to fly to New Orleans but that flight got canceled so they brought him in to fly to Philadelphia. We were on the plane for an hour while we waited for the pilot, no air conditioning, about a half hour. Also, passenger lights did not work! In Philly, our bags were at baggage claim! Shortly after Jeff picked us up.
Happy Birthday Jeff!
Jeff’s flight was a little delayed also and he went to Dollar Car Rental to pick up the car he ordered, and they were out of cars except they finally found him a car and he picked us up at United.
We made it to Springhill Suites, in Ewing Township/Princeton - really nice hotel. A room with a toilet and a sink in one room and in another room a tub and sink, nice closet space, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, desk, sofa bed, in addition to the two queen beds! We are very impressed
We got unpacked or started unpacking and then met everybody in the lobby to go for a Greek dinner (Mykonos) to celebrate Jeff’s birthday..our treat! Yes we ordered dessert - Henry really liked the dessert, especially the chocolate.
Henry is so cute and a good eater. He liked the dessert - see his face!
After dinner, we came back to the hotel and finished unpacking and watched a little TV.
We met Jeff for breakfast, and it was a full breakfast. Very nice.
After
breakfast, we took a ride on some of Jeff’s favorite roads and saw some
beautiful scenery, and stopped for lunch across from where his first
office had been in a place that had been a diner. It is now a crab
restaurant. I think there may have been one other table of patrons in the restaurant. However, a number of people picked up take out.
Our lunches were good. The music was strange and distracting, they did turn it down a touch at our request.
We came
back to the hotel to rest because we are Glazers, and then got a text
message from Brian that they were hanging out in the lobby and so we met
them in the lobby.
We
then went to dinner at Marcellino’s. We met Rick’s friends Mort and
Judy. Mort looks a little like Billy Joel and Judy had been a
pediatrician. They’ve been together about eight years and met on J
date.
We came back to the hotel and rested for a while.
Think we wore him out. Rori and Brian were taking him to bed.

We all had breakfast at the hotel.
We all were in our better clothes.
At
the funeral, at Orland's Funeral Home, Ewing, we sat in the little room off of the parlor room as people came in they came through the room to express their condolences. About 20-25
people were present. Jeff was the officiant and he and Marilyn
delivered eulogies.
After
the services, Mort, Rick’s friend, who is a Kohan, and could not be in
the same room as the body, delivered his comments from the edge of the
parking lot while we all stood in the lobby of the funeral parlor.
We then went to the Greenwood Cemetery, where Rick was buried in the Glazer Family Plot, with his parents.
At the
lunch, at Bonefish, there were about 15 people. We sat at the same
table with Elaine’s two sons, their wives, and one daughter. Jeff sat
at our table too. Brian, Rori, and Henry sat with cousin Judy’s cousins
and Mort and Judy.
We rested and met the family in the lobby at 5:45.we went to Yardley,PA for dinner - just the 6 of us. Venezia Pizza

We all had breakfast together for one last time on this trip. Brian, Rori and Henry were driving back to D.C., and Jeff, Terry, and Marilyn headed to the airport in Philadelphia. Fortunately, there was little traffic. Jeff dropped us off and went to put gas in the rental car and then return the car, and his flight to Savannah was a few hours later.
Our mission for the trip was sad, but how fortunate that we all got so much quality time together. We are blessed.
