Memorial Day with the family

We gathered at the farm for a wonderful day with family and friends, building precious memories that will linger for years to come. Shane, Diane, Nick, Jake, Chris, Beverly Higgins, Tanja, Rob, Alex, Tripp, my mother, Uncle Louis, Aunt Elizabeth, Linda, Uncle Buck, Donna, Tony, and the beautiful Miss Brittany all were there for food, fellowship and fun! Jake, Chris, Tripp and Alex played ball. Tripp rode the little tractor with Papaw! He was so excited! Shane, Alex and Brittany worked on guitar skills and played a few tunes for us. It was a most enjoyable day. We are sorry that all of our friends could not come and be a part of the day, but distance is so often an enemy!

Memories are created at times like these. We reminesced, told funny stories, and ate. And ate. Did I mention that we ate? I cooked burgers and dogs! But Glenda and mom fixed all kinds of goodies, from Glenda's trademark baked beans, to cheesecake with fresh strawberries. It was just the kind of day that makes you feel like you want to do it again!

Next year, maybe you can come and be a part of this time of togetherness with us!

I can hear it now, Charlie would say, 'You got it made!' And ya know....he'd be right!!

Keep the faith!

CARRY ON!
