Waiting For The Food To Be Out




Memorial Day started out really strange. I woke up to the deepest ,wettest fog I have ever seen. I had to come over and do our flowers for the graves and it was pretty thick. It reminded me of a deep London fog that you see on shows. After I got home it started to clear and the sun came out. It turned out beautiful. We all got ready and went to the cemetary and decorated the graves. We then headed home for a picnic with lots of the family. John had the yard all set up with tables, chairs, games, and had started cooking all the meat. We got all the rest of the food out and a huge black cloud with thunder started rumbling above us. We kept thinking it would pass, but it started to rain. So, everyone grabbed food and headed for the house. We had food, and people all over my house, but it was okay. Just about the time everyone was finishing eating the sun came out and it cleared up and the rest of the day was super. We went back out and played and visited outside. The kids and grandkids planted three of my main flowerbeds and had them done in about a half hour. It would have taken me a few hours. They then went home to do some stuff at their houses. Later that evening they came back and we cooked hot dogs and made smores. It was a very fun day. Also, Heather and Koby came up for the weekend and we got to tend Lizzie on Saturday and Sunday while they went thru the Park and up to Red Lodge Montana. They had a great time and so did we. Lizzie is a little sweetheart. I will post some pictures on here as soon as I find my cord.

Sounds like an interesting Memorial Day. I think the same thing happened out here. Sorry we didn't make it. Just to much to do. Can't give up a day when I have the boys here to help. Brenan graduates next year and yes I am excited for today.

It was a fun Memorial Day! It is always fun to come over to your house and have a picnic with all of the extended family!

Glad I could come home for Memorial Day and do all the festivities. Thanks again for watching Lizzie. I am sure she enjoyed every moment of it. I don't even think she realized we were gone. You are a great grandma to do that.
