Freaky!

Last Monday, I made a phone call to our caterer. (Note: I claim her "our" caterer, because we're really considering her to be the caterer for the wedding.) The person who answered told me to call again on the 19th (yesterday), because the caterer was on vacation.

I called up yesterday. A woman answered - who I found out later, was her cousin. I asked for the caterer.

I was in for a surprise. The caterer, she said, was buried just yesterday.

It took me a while to recover. It was just plain freaky (sorry Mrs. Caterer). I mean, someone from their family told me she was on vacation - perhaps they didn't know what to tell me. And here I was, thinking she was on vacation.

May she rest in peace.

Meanwhile, it's time to look for another one.
