Today is a sad day in our community as Toni officiates her dad's memorial service. She may lose her uncle today or tomorrow as well. As young men, both were pillars of our community and will be remembered fondly by many. Lynn has on her regular "hat" of being the sturdy background support everyone counts on. Her presence and the strength she exudes will be felt by Toni throughout the day. As I write this, Lynn is making her famous twice-baked potatoes. She already made cookies. Baking is therapy for Lynn and the rest of us receive many blessings from the positive energy she infuses into her batter. Afterward, she will become a one woman clean-up crew for two sites: the church and the Grange Hall. No one (except Toni and us) will know and that's how Lynn likes it.
Tomorrow will be her renewal day--riding out the usual trails on her trusty, if boring steed, and then coming home and grooming a couple of woolly dogs and a husband, whose hair has grown past its 1/4 inch comfort length. The thought of tomorrow is what may keep the overwhelming sadness at bay.
Man I did no clean up. Carol Tonkin took care of most everything. She was the worker bee!!! She was move'n & Groove'n! I only slacked off and enjoyed company of wonderful people. I never made it back to the Church either... :( Sunday was fun and I was tried at the end of the day. We did not even get to ride. Oh well maybe another weekend. Next... Fun at the Bull & Gelding sale with great friends!
ReplyDeleteI can post comment from home, but not from work...hum...
ReplyDeleteSo sad for Toni and family, but her dad will be happy again to see his wife.
ReplyDeleteYes Lynn is a worker, and bakes till her heart is content. And we do know about Lee's hair cut :) Yes Bull and Gelding sale, I cannot wait, we will have a great time.
