Caught UP!

For a minute anyway!
I made these cards.





I gave one to my friend Brandi & her husband on Saturday for their wedding!

It was a great wedding. Very casual, and fun!





Here's me and the HAPPY bride!
I'm very happy for her, she's awesome!

Senior's Week started Monday. We had a western theme!
I drove around for a week with a saddle in my backseat (It's STILL there)!
I said to M, "M it's dirty!"
M: " Gail, it came off a horse!"
Me: "How am I gonna explain a saddle in my backseat? Do I tell people I'm looking for a horse?"
M: " Or a cowboy!"









Yesterday we went to PR for a Hawaiian themed games day.
We were the best dressed Hawaiians there! I wish I'd have got one of the girls to take a picture, cause the guys even wore coconut bras!
It was priceless!

Today was Bingorama!
I played, but I didn't win a darn thing!

Tomorrow night is our campfire sing along. Hopefully we get a good turn out for that, then I'm done. DUN. Stick a fork in me! TGIF!

So....the lone coyote that's been hanging around is a slow learner! I DID get a shot at it last week.
And then again around 6:00 am this morning.
Which has only proved that I CANNOT hit a moving target! But ya think he'd be scared!
K, Maybe not.

I shoot squirrels out of the trees for Shadow.
So there's this red winged blackbird, nesting in the willows by the dugout that annoys Shadow.



There it is at the top of the power pole, and Shadow's having a hissy fit, wanting me to shoot it. Cause that's what she does under a tree, and I'll shoot the squirrel!
I. AM. NOT. ALLOWED. TO. SHOOT. TOWARDS. THE. POWER. POLE!
So she can be cranky! Ain't. gonna. happen!

V's coming home on Saturday with the new guy. He wants to meet her dad.
 We're having friends for supper, and more for the fire later.
So I've been cleaning, gardening, and i've finally caught up with the mowing!
It all has had at least one pass!
Now, tomorrow night or Saturday morning when I do it again, I'll do it all!

Better go!

Ta ta for now!

50 1st Dates, and I work with IDIOTS!

Tuesday at the OFH, one of our new residents (who fancies himself a ladies man) and one of the lady residents were coming down the street holding hands.
You have to remember that we have people with varying degrees of dementia. We keep people longer now. They used to go up to Continuing Care, but someone has to die before there's room, so we deal with it!
M & I were outside, and the couple sat on the bench by the door.
Everytime E moved over, L slid a little closer.
M said, "Ya gotta admit it's kinda cute, and you'd never be bored, because you'd forget what you discussed the day before."
Me: "Kinda like 50 1st Dates?!"
M: " Exactly like 50 1st Dates!"

Later in the day I was paged to the dining room.
One of my lazy co workers has a thing for paging people.
One of the residents was standing by the vending machine.
J: "I put a loonie in the machine and pressed C4 for a Caramilk bar and nothing came out>"
I opened the flap at the bottom and handed her her chocolate bar.
She didn't see it, I WORK WITH IDIOTS!
Instead of going to see if they could help her, they just paged me.
Gawd!

Getting off work early to go to PR with little P.
She needs a dress for her daughters wedding.
I said I'd go if she'd take me to No Frills and Canadian Tire,
I need sundae stuff from No Frills.
It's Seniors Week next week.
The theme is Remember the Past, Look to the Future.
How lame is that!?
I think I want that job.......it's probably 4-5 figures!
Anyhooo, on Tuesday we have Sundaes, and charge 2 bucks and donate the money to Meals on Wheels!

I also need to pick up 2 stools for Happy Hour, so the band doesn't put their drinks on the piano.
Which sould be alright if I wasn't so paranoid that they'd spill them! Stools should put them at the right height!

Better go, I'm working on some wedding cards. I'll let you know how they turn out. I need one for Saturday, and little P want's one for her daughters wedding in July!

Ta ta for now!
