Celebration Of Life

Native performers group pix.

Yesterday was hectic (Sunday) first off I did an errand for tenant Miss Judy then I showered up and headed over to Gage Park to check out the Aboriginal Pow Wow event.  I was greeted with handshakes and hugs from the people who know me as I toured the grounds.  Kudos to the young native dancers dressed in full outfits. :)  Walking by the UNH’s tent I glanced at the overpriced food menu and got a sneer look from Ingrid Nosel and that’s ok.  It was a pleasure to watch her all sweaty and looking haggard in the 35 degree heat and humidity.  I call it penance for giving birth to criminals. :D  I didn’t hang around Gage Park very long, it was very humid plus I had another event to attend.  What a great Father’s Day present to greet my son at Gage Park doing what he does best…working.  

While traveling to my next stop I walked by the UNH’s "money pit" Kennilworth Ave. building.  Holy Shite!  I had a good look around the perimeter of the unfinished building.  At the entrance I had to snicker at the step by step instructions on how to enter the building.  Jeezus!  Visitors and guests can't be that stupid. :P  

Celebration Of Life.  I arrived at a family and friends gathering in memory of the late Janice Card (Montour) held at a Legion banquet hall on Barton Street.  I was late and missed the ceremony but that didn’t matter her sisters greeted me and I was invited to help myself to the buffet.  Oh My Gosh!  The food was delicious and I ate in air conditioned comfort.  There was a huge crowd of people who I didn’t know soon after the family came over to talk to me.  Janice was a fellow tenant and friend.  The sisters were surprised when I shared the story that I once asked Janice to be my date to a play presented at Theatre Aquarius.  Later as I was about to leave the family offered me a huge container of leftover sandwiches which I accepted, I said I will share it with my fellow tenants who couldn’t attend.  Soon after while riding the bus for home I had time to think.  Janice Card (Montour) was loved by many people and by signing the condolence book it gave me the chance to say goodbye to a wonderful woman.  I didn’t feel sadness I felt content and I know she’s in a place free of pain and with the Creator.

With the family’s permission I took a few pix.
