As
I mentioned in last night’s Blog,
from the information that I gathered at the Wake,
the Funeral
would be taking place at 9:00
this
morning.
Of course, because I set the Alarm
even earlier than yesterday, I was awake with time to spare.
Apparently, Kathy had gotten up as
well, but
lay back down without her CPAP
Mask.
She may have moaned about wanting to sleep longer,
but after a single Kiss
she was up and ready for our breakfast snack. We even had time for a
Coffee
while I confirmed the weather for our area.
Kathy decided to wear her Windbreaker and when we walked out the rear entrance, was glad that she did. From the time we left our parking lot to the time we pulled into the parking lot at the Church, was all of Two Minutes. That was when we found out the time had been changed by an Hour. Bit by bit Family and Friends started to arrive and made there way inside, only because the Bees were buzzing around everyone’s faces on this Sunny day. Glad we attended the wake last evening because the Casket was closed today.
Times have changed from the many funerals I attended in the past. In the past, when a procession was making its way to the Cemetery, nobody cut into the line and most would pull over in honour of the Deceased. Also in the past, once the Hearst had made it through the intersection, the rest would continue unabated. Those Rules have all changed and respect has gone out the window. We had Dump-Trucks force their way into the line, then make U-Turns on the road in front of us. At one point a woman exiting Tim Horton’s nearly cause a pile up, because we were not stopping for a Green Traffic Light so she could go shopping. A Trucker told her about respecting a funeral.
Luckily, the director had forewarned us of the changes to the Law, but not the ignorance of the public. Even with the Sunny Sky, we were lucky for the 72 F (22 C) temperature in the shade from the surrounding Trees. Once the Graveside Ceremony was completed, everyone was invited for a Luncheon at the Caboto Club, but urged caution getting there.
Because of the change in funeral time, the Club delayed making the food Fresh, It was past 2:30 when the Buns were put on the tables. They all disappeared before the rest of the Buffet could be brought out. The bright side of the delay, was it gave everyone time to visit even more. I have always said, “It’s a shame that Funerals and Weddings are the only time you see some of those people”.
We still had to stop at Health First Pharmacy, to pick up our shopping bag full of Medications. There was a delay, because Kathy’s Cardiologist changed one of her prescriptions, The new Tablet combines Two into One, saving me the job of Cutting it in Half.
When we got home, the first thing was to change our clothes, before turning on our Computers. I was in the process of updating our Medication Spreadsheet, when I noticed Kathy leaned back sleeping, with her fingers only inches from the Keyboard. That was Two early days for the both of us and she deserved that nap.
The “6 o’clock Local News” showed a very wet weekend heading our way, with our next dry day next Friday. With the late luncheon, the only thing we ate this evening, was a small dish of Frozen Strawberry Yogurt.
We watched a couple of episodes om the History Channel before Kathy went to Bed. I hope to be there soon.
