The Making of A Weekend

So what makes for a good weekend:
1 part - good weather
1 part - good food (gotta love scone sunday)
1 part - national holiday
All parts - family gathered together.


Memorial Day weekend was one full of gratitude for:
- our freedoms
- those who sacrifice for our freedoms
- our country
- our blessings
- our family

Missed those many who were not with us - especially Elder Parker (but he is doing great check his blog)
But we had a delightful weekend with the many who joined in the fun.

Memorial Day

The morning started early as Rindy volunteered at a volleyball tournament hosted by Mackey's team - she had a great visit while working the register. Later in the day Mackey volunteered as well.(nice view from my chair)

The highlight of the day was to be the Memorial Day parade just down the street from us. (Not quite as cool as Jen & Eric's flag posting)We walked down - set up our chairs - watched one band, a scout troop, a couple of vet groups and then the heavens oped in a major way. The lightening forced the cancellation.
(crowd quickly scattered)
When we arrived home we found good friends seeking shelter on our porch. So we invited them in and introduced them to gorilla uno - and our still friends.

The weather cleared so parker and i played ping pong in back; where I unfortunately was destroyed. But it is great to have the ping pong table set up again.

Brigham packed up and moved down to Hyde Park. Fun to have him home for a few days; fun to have him close for the summer.
