Saturday, March 7: Kids Party. Trip to Millville

Hi. This is Mark Krull reporting on March 2026 events. Some mule really love some you won’t love but some you’ll just ignore it but that’s OK Internet.
Anyhow, we got up at 9:30 AM. Mary had trouble sleeping and I had a really awful ass Anxiety dream that basically I forgot my shoes for going to church and somebody else planned a wedding for me. Anyway, we got up and decided I would go get coffee and pick up the egg and cheese sandwiches and then head off to Pottstown where Ellie was 

celebrating her kids birthday. The kids are the grand nieces of Mary’s. Well, we got the rental car at 30th St. which went really smoothly. We then drove out to Pottstown the same commute. I did in 1987. Straight up the school up route 422. Well, we arrived in the party had started. It’s basically a lot of kids and parents there. Mary and I hung out and I assumed realize we were just not gonna make it to Yoga today so we’ll have to make it up somehow along the way this month. Anyway, they served up some really good food there. I had a hoagie. They even had food from Cory’s which I remember from my welfare days in Norristown. I used to eat a holster bowling in one sitting back when I was a useful guy back in 1987 and 86 when I work for Montgomery county assistance office. Anyhow, Mary and I ended up being the last people 
to leave the party. We ended up just sitting on the couch, which is really comfortable considering I’ve done a lot of standing. I took got some decent pictures and I sent them to Mary. I then decided right there sitting in the couch. Maybe we should stay overnight in Millville and go to the Ford rescue the next morning without having to get up early. And Mary went right with it which was really cool. So we left there came back to the Dorchester for mom to get toiletries and get set up and then we took the car straight down to quality Inn in Millville and then we got a good recommendation for a place called the green olive. We went total Italian restaurantarama. I had some pasta with vodka sauces, and Mary had spaghetti meatballs with 5 pound meatballs that’s where these meatballs are the biggest meatballs I’ve ever seen. Anyway, it’s now 9:12 PM and this place is open till 11 and it’s completely empty except for us just sitting here. They’re playing some good oldies such as Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, etc. They even played some super tramp, which was kind of cold to hear because you don’t hear them too much anymore. They don’t fit the “classic rock“ genre that we have today. Tomorrow we’re gonna go to Ford rescue and show the little fishing village where once upon a time I thought about buying a shack. One of the decisions that I did didn’t make that I’m glad I didn’t make or whatever. Anyhow, it’s overcast and cloudy, but that’s the transition to spring around here on the East Coast. 

Saturday, February 14: Mom’s Funeral Service

Hi there it’s Saturday, February 14 is Valentine’s Day but most of all it is my mom‘s funeral today. She lived on 96 years old. Mary and I 
got up around 7:30 AM. I went out to Montreal spread bakery and nobody was there. I got two coffees and went to the minimart and got two sandwiches. I got dressed. Mary took a shower and it’s now 8:55 AM and I’m waiting for Mary to come with her phone. And I don’t think she can

find her phone so I’m going call her. We have to be at church at 9:15. Well, we actually made the church by around 9:17 AM. Will you 
made a really good pace with going down? I-76 and I-95. It was pretty amazing. Brought over the particle board with the pictures and there were   2️⃣ guys 
there at the church we parked near nice black ice & managed not to slip on that. The service was pretty good Dave Alice did a pretty goodjob of getting speakers, etc. on the program. John and I earlier had an adventure trying to find a bathroom that was interesting. It was funny. So we found out various a bathroom went to church. Anyway, service was well fought out and very emotional. We were the pallbearers David, John, Mike, and myself. Have afterwards the receptionist held at Dave’s club Spring Haven golf club. Everybody hung out and shot the shit, etc.. it was nice to see everybody. Folks you’re gonna meet at some bar but no decisions for me. It took the family about an hour and a half to decide that they were 

going out but by that time I just wanted to go home and so did Mary. Went back to the Dorchester ordered Indian and watched Law and order. It was very comforting. Tomorrow our plans to go to Long Beach Island for a little road trip and getaway for the burial on Monday. It was good to see the 
whole family again. The reception was very very nice. The club was a perfect spot for it. If you want my opinion and I know everybody wants my 
opinion you see. The weather held off and didn’t rain or snow or blow or go down to 15° and all that other kind of East Coast weather in February has to offer for us and our kin.
