Sad

Today I went to the celebration of life (The minister says that's what funerals are called these days) of my friend I made the Thinking of You card for.
She was 52.
I'm a little weepy.
The minister also said not to ask God 'why' or any of the other things people ask when someone dies. Well......WHY not!?
She was too young.
I just had coffee with her 2 weeks ago.
I'm gonna miss her.

The funeral was in Grande Prairie.....I've been in a funk all day.
I was going to lay one friend to rest, and picking up wedding supplies for another.

It's just one of those things, even though we don't like to think about it, life goes on. That was the hardest thing after our Jason died. You have a house full of friends and family, and the day after the funeral....no one. They all go back to their lives, which really isn't fair.....cause you're thinking the world will end, it's unfair cause life as you know it is shattered and will never be the same.

On another note, the rounding up of the buffalo is going well....Friday we got 26 in.
We had 5. Now we need 9 more and the truck can come and get them!
I told Ray I didn't feel like rounding up tonight as I was feeling weepy!
Hope I didn't jinx anything. It'll be nice to have 42 out of there. Then the rest go in August or September, and we'll be free to have a life again!
I'll let you know how many there are after we get 42 out of there!

Senior's Week is next week....have a full schedule planned. It outa be busy!

Tired.......

After a whirlwind week of decorating, and having the Community Volunteer Appreciation, taking my peeps to Wal Mart on Friday, and having the Birthday Party/Happy Hour......I'm exhausted!
I'm trying to clean up my craft room. I got side tracked & made my mom a birthday card. I've included a picture!

I also made her a card box, and 10 assorted cards for her to give out to her friends. There should be a pic here with 5 of the cards! That's for her birthday....for some reason, buying the assorted home made cards at the Family
Rebellion last year entitles her to cards for life.....oh well!

Things are looking up! I thought the Kubota was sold, but the guy didn't come look at it. Ray will call tomorrow to see if he's still interested.
There's a contract on the kitchen table for 54 buffalo...now that will make a dent! We've got 5 babies, and no they're not cute...they have a face only a mother would love! I'll try to get a pic for next time. Personally I don't think they're cute until they have little nubby horns!
I've been doing laundry, my bags half packed. I leave for Red Deer for LACCA (Lodge Activity Coordinators Convention of Alberta) on Tuesday.
Tomorrow I go to my other job, and have a meeting at 4:30 pm.
Then I get back on Friday...probably late!
Kalen & Jason were here for supper. I asked Kalen if he could help his dad this week, cause I'd be gone.
He said, "OK, but there's gonna be some ground rules."
I said, "Here's your dad...tell him."
Kalen said, "We're starting before noon, and working until the afternoon, I don't wanna be stuck here all day!"
I think that's all that was said, but I told Kalen I have the same problem. I wake up at 6 or 7 am. By dinner time I've already done 4 or 5 hours of work, so when Ray rolls out of bed and gets his shit together, it's noon, and then he doesn't understand that I'm already winding down, to do what I want, and he's raring to go!
I can't do that!
Better go, see what else I can get packed, I'm really tired, but if I go to bed now, I'll be up at 4:00 am!
