Lee Harvey Oswald Had A Better Funeral Or An Update.

I normally don’t revisit a previous entry but figured that some might be curious about the fallout—or lack of one—from the Haggis’ demise. Turns out that Edie read my blog before finally coming back to the good old 236 and knew the score before she open the door so she was prepared.

I hadn’t seen her much due to the job so when I saw her--with Ali--on my day off she said that she did like the new set up and wasn’t even really bothered by my decision to remove the body. But she was bothered by my stacking the evidence in room and—to my surprise—told me that we had to throw it out.

Of course I didn’t believe her and asked if she was sure because I knew it meant so much to her. Edie felt that it would be too much to fix it and there was no where for it to go. I was still a bit startled so I asked again if she was sure and Ali laughed and offered to make a memory quilt for us if we wanted. Edie was as blasé as I was overwhelmed but it was decided to toss it in the dumpster and be done with it.

So later that afternoon we left to go meet up with Lizzie and Kelly and I ended up carrying the Haggis down to the dumpster with the girls help. We stopped long enough to dump the Air Chair and then we were off. I was surprised by how much I was bummed by this.

Maybe I should have had Ali make ME the memory quilt.
