Do you believe in signs?

I woke up early this morning.  For as late as I crawled into bed and as exhausted as I was, it was early.  By the time I decided to crawl out of bed and left Murphy out it was after 8:00 a.m.  When I let her in the sprinklers were on, I grabbed my camera and I caught this.  I've been wanted to catch a rainbow for sometime.  This isn't the type I thought I'd snap but it was just as pretty and was very shocked and happy that I got it.

The dog and I laid around for a bit and then I decided that maybe we should get out.  I called my sister and checked to see if it was okay to come over.  I thought that Murph would enjoy playing with her cousin Kiku for a nice change.  I'd been gone so much that she's been pretty neglected for attention lately and she loves car rides. 

As I was on the phone with my sister she had another call come in, switched over to grab it and then came back.  All I heard was "she's gone, get to mom's".  I immediately started to get dressed and my phone rang again, it was my brother calling to tell me.  He didn't know that I was on the phone with my sister when he called her.  Auntie had passed away this morning, they were trying to get ahold of my sister but they couldn't reach her so they called mom's house.  Mom went to the grocery store and my brother got the news.  Within 30-45 minutes my three sisters, my niece and I were at the house waiting for mom to come home from the store.  By the time my we were going to the hospital my brother had arrived with his two girls.  My niece and I decided to let my three sisters and mom go to the hospital while we waited for my brother from Stockton to arrive.  Eventually every one trickled in, My brother and sister-in-law from Stockton, one brother-in-law and then my other brother-in-law and nephew who had been camping up at Donner.  Another niece showed up and then the other.  Right now my mom's house is full of family.  I decided to come home and let Murph out but really, I just needed to get out of there for a bit.  With so many people talking at once and the TV going I needed a bit of quiet and my dog.  When I left they were ordering dinner, a house less than 1100 square feet packed with people.

I loved my aunt, I'll miss my aunt but I'm glad my aunt is now at peace.
