Good Morning....
Wow, what a wonderful Memorial day weekend with the kids from Alabama. By the way, the town they live in has 300 people, even the county-capital has fewer people in it than Hastings, so anything we do here is bigger! For example: in Hastings you can watch numerous traffic lights instead of the same ole one all the time.
For Memorial Day we all got up and went to the parade - we sat on the curb [on Broadway] across from Tyden Park ... had a great time. It was sweet, my five year old grandson made sure everyone had their little American flag held high right before the parade got to us! Then we came back home and packed a picnic lunch and went to Pierce Creek Park and hiked ... it was a beautiful day for that! Then we came home and got rested up. During the rest four gentlemen from church [Ernie, Randy, Tim & Robert] came and mowed the church/parsonage lawn. With four men it went pretty fast and they did an excellent job. I had to rope off a patch of lawn where we discovered a mother rabbit had hid four babies - my one granddaughter, who is in love with ALL creatures made sure Gramps cautioned them! I looked out in the backyard one time and all four lawn tractor were in a line like they are starting a race across the campus - my grandson thought that was cool and waited for them to 'take off.'
Later we had a birthday meal for my other granddaughter, and immediately after supper, Gram had a surprise for us all .... we went to the movie theater downtown to watch 'The Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian!' - it was excellent! Then we came back and had cheesecake and ice cream and birthday presents were opened.

Sounds like an awesome weekend, Timm! I'm glad you got presents. The book sounds incredible. Hope things are going well.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the blogs you sent me; those pictures were great ..... it sounds like you had some special guests at graduation! This book on Pilgrim's Progress is great with all the scriptures references and a study guide at the end of every chapter. Thanks.
