Sunday 4/30, the day of the funeral. We got up and Jodi had fixed breakfast and we were out the door to go to the church in Brownton. The granddaughters were going to be the pallbearers for Grandma at the end so we had to have a run down of that before the funeral started. It was hard, but Ginny said some really nice things and some of us grandkids sang the “Goat Song” so that was nice. After it was over the church had a lunch with some good food (and also some not so good food) then it was off to the burial back in Stewart. That was the hardest part and where I lost it the most. There’s more, but it’s in my head and that’s where I’ll keep it. Everyone went to Cactus Jack’s again afterward and there was a lunch thing there, even though we’d just eaten at the church. Carrie Jo had made rice krispie treats like she had at Grandpa’s funeral, so I ate about 5 of those. We made another trip over to Grandma’s house where Kassie found more stuff and put it aside, by this time she had 2 boxes and a bag I believe. We went back to the restaurant because everyone was leaving. Kassie and I were going to stay with Mark and Kelly for the night since Mom and Dad were staying in Minneapolis by the airport. We went to Uncle Dick’s again and that’s when shit hit the fan with Ginny and all the stuff Kassie had taken. There was drama but I think it’ll work itself out eventually. We left for Kelly’s house around 10:00 and it took forever but finally got there and made it to bed by 12:45 or so.
Saturday 4/29, We got up and ready then over to Dick and Roxy’s to hang out for the morning before Grandma’s viewing. We watched the football draft and just talked until Beau got there with his prom date and soon after that we left for the viewing. It was from 3:30 – 4:00 for family, then 4:00 – 8:00 for everyone else. Grandma looked pretty good but Kassie and I just stood there for a while and cried together. They had her hands covered up and we didn’t know why, but later someone looked and said the hands didn’t look very good, so that’s probably why. We left to go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for a bit to look at stuff and pick out a memento or two, I got a little salt and pepper shaker that are two birds sitting on a branch. Kassie found a lot more stuff and put it all aside. I hitched a ride back with Clint and Dylan to the funeral home and sat with Mom for most of the rest of the time. Talked with Ginny and Keith about St. Martin and chatted with a few other people. Finally we went over to Cactus Jack’s for dinner but the waitress lost the order for our table so Kassie got pissed and yelled a bit and Uncle Larry said “Is that Dale or Kassie?” which was hilarious. I got my food though because mine was on the second page, but the other girls didn’t get theirs until about 10:00. We ate and left to go back to Clint’s where we stayed up until 2:00 talking with him in his bar about all sorts of interesting stuff.
Friday 4/28, Got up around 6:00 and headed over to Mom’s cause Dad was going to take Kassie and I to the airport to go to MN. We got all checked in and Kassie bought some morning goodies and we waited at our gate to board. The flight was uneventful though we both slept a little. We landed and ran into Mom and Dad, grabbed a little snack and headed to baggage claim to meet up with the girls. Mom and Dad went to get the rental car while we waited for the luggage, and us girls waited outside for about an hour for them to bring the rental cars. We finally got underway and sat in traffic for a while before turning off onto another route that Dad must’ve known was a shortcut or something. We finally got to Dick and Roxy’s and ate a bunch of food and just hung out there all night. The four girls went to Clint and Jodi’s to spend the night.
Thursday 4/27, I went over to B’s after work and was planning to meet Kassie to do a hand off of Peggy’s goods, but she never showed up. B and I hung with the roommates until it was time for him to go to bed, at which point I brought the clothes in and we all tried stuff on and had a really good time. I got talked into wearing a sequined poofy top to Neighbours, but I only ended up wearing it in the car cause I would have been way too hot. I picked Susan up and we headed over. Nothing monumental happened, just danced and left by 1:00.
