Don't you eat that yellow snow

there..... six words.  I'm taking a bit of a break at work.  (I think technically it is called lunch)  It has been a busy week.  tomorrow will be amazing.  It is "Jam Fest" in Neepawa, and in conjunction with it is a Community Pot Luck Supper.  We start with a march from the court house to ArtsForward.  This is in response to all the bad publicity we got for the racist graffiti in town a few weeks ago.  the response has been amazing.  Rrain has so many donations she is overwhelmed.  The Farmery donated 5 flats of beer to be given away..... quick.... how fast can we get a liquor license?!  Dairy Queen is giving out Dilly Bars..... HyLife donated 3 whole pigs and there is a chef to cook and slice them.  People have been dropping off cheques..... Co-op donated their giant Kitchen BBQ  (It has a sink, and freezer & fridge and BBQ)  All the stores have offered to donate whatever we are short of.  I don't think they expected this much community support when they came up with the idea.  For the march everyone is encouraged to wear ethnic costumes if they have them and carry flags from their home country and from Canada, their new country.   There is also a school reunion the same day, with over 100 people coming (Jim and I are supposed to be there, but I think it might just be Jim for most of the day.)  I also have a celebration of life to attend in the afternoon.  Rrain hoped to make it but there is just no way she can get away.  He was only 56...one of our neighbours when we first moved to Eden.  So,  my 6 word memoir........... "Life's short, but what a ride!"
