Memorial Day

 

Not Much Going On

 ...except lots of storms and rain. Can't complain about the rain. It's so green beautiful here and our pasture is thick and tall. Our cows are in hog heaven-or maybe heifer heaven! 

We went to New Mexico the Thursday before Mother's Day to celebrate my mother-in-law's 94th birthday. She has been and is the very best MIL that anyone could hope for. More of a second mother to me. We enjoyed visiting with her and my husband's brother and sister and ate lots of wonderful mexican food. We did a little driving around our hometown and reminiscing as well. We were nearly 19 and 21 when he graduated from university and we left home to live somewhere else for the first time in our lives. We had already been married almost 2 years! Hard to imagine getting married that young now-God was definitely watching over us and guiding our steps! Drove back home on Mother's Day and hubby took me out for a steak dinner on the way. It's an 11 hour drive and we were about done in-it may soon be time to start flying there and back!

Other than that, we are just doing the every day stuff which is pretty nice, I think. We are helping make a few things for our church's VBS next month. I'm going to revamp a couple of old chairs and make them thrones for the story of Esther. My husband made a frame to hold a curtain that goes across the "stage" at the front of the auditorium/sanctuary. It's seen better days after a number of years so he's revamping that. We have acted and sung in the programs in past years, but have decided to work "behind the scenes" now. Twice weekly rehearsals and the hours of standing and dancing (!) are harder for us now and they really need people to help out in other ways. 

That's about it-have a great week!

 

Happy May! A little bit late!

 

We have really had the rain and storms, but the flowers are beautiful!
