Memorial Day

A big blessing - in that I am coming home AGAIN. Flying out Friday night, for a long Memorial Day weekend. BTW - A new collection agency is after the H.E. loan from the house in Minn. What a waste of resources.

Was in town last weekend for C. birthday - and figured I could come either Memorial Day or Scout Show. Rather than sleep on the ground at Hebron Fairgrounds, with T3 offsite (so I would'nt see much of them), I chose to come home now.

I cleaned up around the house in prep as well. C. family will be in town for the annual Wallyworld picnic, and N. (at least) is marching in the parade on Monday.

Bunga and Umpa were at the San Diego zoo today...

S. Prom is Friday night!

17 and 14

Missed the guys birthday, couldn't get home every weekend in May.  One of the guys I hang out with at work invited me out for the weekend to a cabin on lake.  His Father in law owns the island - a cabin, zip line, herd of goats, some peacocks.  It was cool - One of the other guys from work came as well.  Sitting around a fire, boat rides, and driving the carts (like the gator at CW) all over.

Spoke to the boys, it's not quite the same though.

Will be home this weekend - S. is in NH until Sunday.  I am staying from Friday night thru Tuesday.  And will make Jaimee and Mike's wedding!

And after having the taxes looked at a second time, now it's a blessing - I NEVER would have guessed I wouldn't owe a ton.

Cold in Ct.

Gotta go, frost warning in Ct tonight. 

Kevin's accident worked out in the best possible way.  Umpa dropped of some arbor vitae's to replace the ones that died in front of the house - and had trained S. for the last two weeks on how to plant trees!  We cut firewood (that tree that had been taken down on the south side) - Like basketball, I have the skills, but am carrying around two bags of feed more than when we did this in Bakerville.  S. is looking for a job (he has an offer to be Kitchen staff at CW), and D. had a great time in DC with the school trip. 

May Day

1- D. is in DC and well. Called twice today, going to see the Nat's play the Braves tonight.
2- I fly home Th. night, for Mothers Day weekend. 
3- Prayers for my Brother, a fender bender is complicating his life as he wraps up in Moz. to come back to the US.
4- Got extended at RayJay through August (normal, in 3 month chunks).
