We should have known. Our oldest wants to drop everything, take the kids out of school, and drive here right now. The funeral is probably not until Thursday, though we won't know that for certain until tomorrow. Fortunately we can exercise a little control over the situation: we're probably paying for their hotel room, and if they want it a day early it's going to be at their own expense. Plus, they need to use our van, but we figured out before we left last week that we have a slow leak in one tire. I've arranged for a friend to take it tomorrow to have it looked at after he gets off of work. So they'll at least have to wait for that to be squared away.
At least we have someplace for our dog to stay. Col. Potter will hang out with his sister again, as he did when we were on vacation last summer. There's another reason they'll have to wait to leave: Potter won't be picked up until after work tomorrow.
