the remaking of a kitchen

today i made two phone calls and there are now two checks in the mail, one accompanied by a copy of the death certificate. i think i am done with this portion of things, but then again it's hard to know when you are really done. i may get another letter that tells me something completely different.
so, the business part may be done, but the emotional part is still a work in progress. tomorrow we drive back to nebraska to attend the funeral of a good friend. one of the good guys for sure.
