My wife’s paternal Grandmother passed away Thursday, she was 96.
With Coronavirus limiting private/public events to 10 people in the State of Texas, the family has opted for a graveside all-in-one service this Tuesday at 2pm in Stonewall, Texas, about two hours North of Austin.
It’s a five hour drive from Nederland to Stonewall. No one in the family has much interest in staying in a hotel during this pandemic, so we’re going to drive five hours, stand outside at the old Texas cemetery (many graves from the 1700’s), for a quickie service, then drive five hours back. If someone in town is selling bbq, burgers or mexican, we might pick it up and go eat at Ladybird Johnson park to have a bit more time to visit with family coming in from around the State.
A 10 hour road trip with no restaurants open to the public, restroom breaks will be interesting. Sure, palatial size Bucees will probably be open for gas and such, just not sure what to expect in between the little country towns???
Outside chance no one goes and she is buried with no family present. My wife wants to make her Grandmothers casket spray, so who knows???
If the family doesn’t go now, we will pick a weekend down the line once this foolishness is behind us and we will spend a long weekend visiting, grilling and having one heck of a memorial service.
