wonderful weekends

june 12 - 2007

i absolutely love working in medicine hat - it’s such a great place with such great people. a big city with small town values. my fun began in even smaller town bow island. friday night we went to the tavern where my fiance ray usually plays crib against JC the bartender when it’s not busy. first ray helped her load up some empties in the back, so i helped out behind the bar. now i have never worked in a bar before, restaurants yes, but this was my first experience as a tar bender and what a blast i had. well it started to get busy and rather than have her get up down to wait on cutomers, i continued serving! i was literally SKIPPING across the dance floor (not with drinks in hand) i was having so much fun - and not only did i make over 10 bucks in tips, but i even got a bouquet of flowers from the flower shop next door (thanks tina :)

saturday afternoon while working - a listener called to say they had 17 yards of sod to give away, would i announce it on the radio? hmmmm - this girl could use some sod herself, so they actually DELIVERED it to my home!!! thanks so much travis - that night we went out at 40 mile to visit friends and then after solid gold sunday (before heading back to 40 mile) we laid the sod. that’s after hand digging up part of the yard with a weed popper and a spade. ow my aching back - but does it ever look great! now just to remind my daughter not to pull up past the driveway to make room for a car behind her - oops - too late - she knew about the sod, just not the whereabouts - i was back today re-doing a couple of strips. ack!

i’m a little disappointed about the chucks being cancelled because it would have been my first time seeing them, so hopefully i will be able to go when they are rescheduled. humps and horns bullriding classic is tomorrow night but i am working, so next on the agenda - REDCLIFF DAYS!!!
