Memorial Day 2018


Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all of the men and women that serve our country. Thank you to all of the women and men that have given up everything so that I can safely sit in my house and write this. Thank you to all of your family and friends. We as Americans take for granted most of our freedoms. Today we should remember all of the women and men that gave up their lives so that we get to have our freedom. While I am with my friends and family, eating a nice BBQ I will remember the mother that no longer has her daughter, the father that no longer has his son, the wife that now is a widow, the child that no longer has a parent. Thank you is all I can say.  God Bless America!

    Our thoughts go out to all those who are past and presently serving in all countries, thank you for what you do each and every day.

    We pray you will all come home safely. I always think of those families such as ourselves with loved ones suffering permanent injuries being cared for and those who didn't come home from their service.

The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Dirt

Image
At 7 am Saturday morning a truck came and dropped of 8 yards of topsoil. Then Hubby, the kids and I got to work. It was a beautiful day out, sunny and 60 degrees. Perfect for hard labor. We have a wheel barrel and a garden wagon that can dump. 4 shovels in hand and off we went.  We had several trees taken down a few years ago. Then 2 years ago we had the driveway done. Last year we had the siding on the house done. Time to fix the lawn. We have lots of dips in the front and back yard from all of the work. I am a little clumsy and have fallen several times in them. We were able to level out the front yard and fill in the holes in the back yard. The back yard has a large hill so it will never be level but it is more of a gentle slope now. Some places didn't get dirt because they didn't need it.  We ordered pizza since I was too tired to cook. After dinner Hubby spread grass seed everywhere. Today it is raining lightly.  It was hard work but we got it done and h
