I did not photograph my food for the rest of the day.
We picked up my mom at 8am and arrived at the church around 9am and met my sister and her boyfriend there. My grandpa arrived at the church around 9:15am and the pastor and church staff helped us setup photos and made sure everything looked very nice. From 10am to 11am was the open casket showing and it was terribly sad. The service celebrating his life took place at 11am to around noon and it was a very honorable and beautiful service...the pastor was very well-spoken. The pallbearers brought his coffin to the hearse while we all listened to the tolling bells.
Had a small luncheon with salad, turkey and roast beef half sandwiches, Gardetto's snack mix, lemonade, coffee and the gorgeous sheet cake my sister made in my grandpa's honor. I ate two small plates of salad, one half turkey and one half roast beef sandwich, a half cup of Gardetto's snack mix, two glasses of lemonade and two small pieces of cake.
Left at 1pm to head over to Fort Snelling Cemetery for his Interment. It was a very respectful service and it was hard to say goodbye to him. May he rest in peace.
Afterwards we headed to a gas station because my sister's breaks on her Mitubishi Eclipse were acting strange and Dave determined that the brake pads were terribly worn and needed to be replaced.
We dropped my mom off at home and headed back home ourselves and changed clothes and decided to go to Old Country Buffet because we didn't feel like cooking after the funeral.
I ate a small taco salad, a plate of fish and green beans, a plate of steak with zucchini and peppers, a no sugar added chocolate mouuse, and a bowl of nonfat frozen yogurt with no sugar added apples mixed in.
Went home and didn't feel like doing much the rest of the evening.
