Little bits of updates

It's a great Sunday. The sun is shining but the air is cool. This morning we went to Church. It was a great service as always. Visited a bit with our friends Speed and Linda. Danielle and Curtis have now moved back to her house in Victoria. Lewis, Paul's youngest son had his baby dedication last Sunday. Elias, Danielle' youngest son is having a birthday this week. Linda's brother Art(Art and Helen) Dick is still taking chemo and radiation for his bowel cancer and he has been diagnosed with non lymphatic hodgkins disease. Apparently the doctor told him the tumor in his stomach is inoperable and he has at the very most a year to live.Last nite around ten o'clock in the evening my brother Ernie phoned to say that it had been Teresa's wedding that afternoon. Apparently it was at the Alliance Church in Chilliwack. He is bringing pictures to my birthday party in May.It was a good size wedding. It started at 2:00p[m. then there was an hour in between and then they ate at the Church and he said they just got home at ten. Apparently they are going on a honeymoon in a little while.We had a great time at Sonya and Gary's house. I even won one game of Settlers. We had a good visit with George's sister and brother in law in Vernon. Unfortunately I had to come home and go to work. It turns out I missed the spring cleaning day and no residential staff turned up, probably because it was voluntary. So a whole bunch of the cleaning didn't get done and she made a long list and assigned it to all of us what and when we can do it. Apparently I'm supposed to do all of my work between 11-12pm on my night shifts for the next 3 shifts. I phoned my union about it and it turns out that on a sleepover you are not to do any work until you get up in the morning. that's why you get paid less for it. The manager has been making us work every night shift for an hour for the last 4 years which is against the union contract. The big wig from the head office has phoned her and told her to stop immediately or it's going to grievance. It means now when I go to work it's slightly stressful but justice must prevail. I just took Roxy for a nice walk. My tulips look so pretty and my rhubarb is so healthy looking. Well I better go. Have a great week everybody. God bless. Marge

    Oy! Could things at your job get any crazier?

    I feel so disappointed that we never got invited to or even told about Teresa's wedding. I figured that would happen but now that it did happen I'm still kinda' sad about it.

    I'm with you, Sonya, I feel kinda hurt we were not invited, too. She could have invited us even just to the ceremony. I think it was REALLY selfish of her not to invite the relatives.

    I don't necessarily feel that it was selfish of them...after all, it was THEIR wedding and they can choose to have it in whatever way they want. I just really enjoy being a part of family events and celebrating milestones with the relatives. Perhaps I'm the one who's selfish! lol
