Any Home Bakers Here?

I am way behind, my mother-in-law passed away last Saturday, since they live 220 miles away, organization is difficult, my hubby, thank God has home office and a lot of vacation saved up, cos he knew this day would come , and has been there ever since, he will come back home a few days after the funeral) .
Since my mil had dementia, she threw away (among others ) the list of address/phone number of family and friends, it was a hassle to get them ( they finally found an old list and updated it) since it is a regular funeral, it usually should happen within 9 days, or else the body decomposes too bad, an earlier date was free, but it would have been hubbies birthday, then the grown up kids are coming, but they live all over Germany, so we had to organize time off, train tickets ( we have to pick them up from the train station before the funeral, drop them back off and then drive the 220 miles back cos the son who is still at university has to be there the next day ) then the church in the village isn’t catholic, so we had to ask the reverend if he was ok with a catholic priest doing the funeral in his church, then the venue after the funeral wanted an exact number of people, and I had lots of maybes 🙄. But I think most of you know what I am talking about 🤷🏻‍♀️
Now we have to see how we will look after fil, he is almost blind, I think we will do it as before, hubby will drive down there every other week and stay there for 5 days and then come back home …he was fine before his wife passed away, but we fear he won’t be long for this world, such a shock at 91 isn’t good 😬
I am sorry for your loos!

And the convolutions of the funeral arrangements seem daunting!
 
Hi bakers! We’re having my sister and bro in law over for lunch today where we’ll be eating my sourdough bread. So it won’t be a baking day but a baking appreciation day!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
I hope you had a good visit!
