Memorial Day.

There is no words that can convey the profound pride, honor and sadness for the men and women, soldiers, Americans that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Perhaps the only words that fits the occasion in a simplistic, feeble attempt is thank you.

Weekend Visit

This Memorial Day weekend, Needles and I invited my Mom and Dad up for a visit. They haven't been up here since last December just before Xmas. They arrived around noon on Saturday and just after they got here I started the cookout. We had hamburgers, pork burgers, pork chops, macaroni salad, cole slaw, egg plant casserole, baked beans with smoked pork. After everyone got their bellies full, we all settled in the living room and got to visit with each other. On Sunday after breakfast we all went out to my brothers home and again got to visit some more. Just before my parents left to return home we all made a run up to the Dairy Dee. It was fun  to have them visit even though their visit was short. Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Weekend Alone

Needles has been gone since Thursday to New Harmony, Indiana to a knitting and spinning retreat, so this weekend I had to entertain myself. There were three things I wanted to get accomplished while she was gone. Thursday I mowed the lawn and trimmed so there was one thing marked off the list. The next was to shampoo the carpets in the living room and the middle room. And last but not least, change the oil in the pickup. I finally got all three things done and not to mention make a peach cobbler like my Mom used to make. I got the recipe from her and it turned out perfect. Just like I remembered. Mmmmm. Needles will be home tomorrow and I will be happy to see her after a few days apart. Laundry will be on the agenda for tomorrow. Hope you had a good weekend.
