Memorial Weekend

I should begin this with - Have you hugged a veteran this week?

Sometimes you don't really realize how much an unscheduled day off is needed. Saturday Millie woke me at 7:30am. I fed them and let them out and went back to bed. When I woke up, on my own, around 10:30 - they were still outside and Oprah was collapsed at the back door to let me know that someone had kidnapped her sister and brother.

Aunt Becky called to say she was on her way to Palestine and would love to have company. So I jumped in the shower and was almost ready when she pulled into the driveway. We had a wonderful day. Spent the day just talking, eating and shopping. I tried to convince her that she needed this beautiful yard furniture we found at Sam's. She finally told me I could call my uncle and let him know. Needless to say, the discussion was dropped. lol

Sunday I had the pleasure of being Hayden's taxi. I picked up Renie around 10am and then we went to Hayden's. Once again off to the cemetery - I didn't have my flowers Saturday. The best part about the Palestine Cemetery is that we know everyone that visits - so we can let the boys run wild.

Nicole came a little later. The boys were thrilled to see her. She let Hayden wear her graduation cap around. She didn't get to sit much. Every time she sat down Zeke would say - You Can't Catch Me... then she would have to chase him around the house.

Yesterday, I played chase the cat back inside most of the day. I charcoaled hotdogs and chicken in the afternoon. Toby was a wonderful guard dog. He sat right next to the grill making sure it didn't get stolen.

That's about it for now. Promise to have pics up sometime today or at least by tomorrow.

Long days and pleasant nights...
