So.... it's been one week since I posted a blog. Probably because I was in Denver and had no computer access. That's not always a bad thing!!
This week went by extremely fast!
So, update on my tree... I found out this morning that I have a red oak in my front yard. I don't really like it but I guess there's not much I can do about that.
My neighbor has a pear tree that he wants to dig up and replace so I offered to generously "take it off his hands" but he didn't feel it necessary to give me his tree. :(
So, I'm going to have to break down and by one sooner or later.
So, I have somehow been put in charge of planning my grandma's funeral. This made me think how nice it would be when you died, if you already had created a powerpoint presentation or something along that line, that had pictures from your life... baby to recent and you could update it each year... add song, then, when you die, they can just play it at your funeral. I saw that in the movie love actually and it's a great idea, I think.
My dad found some old pictures of my grandma that are so not flattering. Then, he found some of himself when he was younger and I told him that this funeral was suppose to be in memory of her, not him, but he wanted his pictures posted, alongwith the goats and bubba.
So, I think I'll make a miniature scrapbook and give it to him at the funeral. That way people can thumb through pictures of the goats and bubba while singing the hymns I picked out for her funeral.
These are my options, I have to narrow it down to 2.
Here I am Lord
Amazing Grace (with bagpipes in the background)
Tears in Heaven (that is so cliche)
Simple Gifts
I think I'll go with Here I am Lord and Simple Gifts. Those are presbyterian hymns and most of my family is presbyterian. Well, I think my grandma was but she wasn't really a practicing presbyterian but since I'm the one who has to pick the songs, I think I'll pick those.
At my funeral, I want...
Lord of the dance
Here I am Lord
Simple Gifts
Ice, Ice Baby
I'll have to keep adding to the list...
I could actually play these at my reception.
I also know the flowers I want on my gravesite... gerber daisies and pink and white lilies.
When Brianna was born, my friend Katie brought me 3 enormous gerber daisies to the hosptial.
I had never seen them before and I thought they were so pretty! And, they remind me of Bri. :)
That's all I have for now.
