Weekend "Cram"

I don't think we could have "crammed" more into this weekend if we tried! Jack got a father/son campout in on Fri. night (minus the son part) and Sat was spent shopping, cleaning and the usual get ready for Sunday things. Sunday afternoon we went to Alexis' birthday party where I forgot to bring my camera but the pics on Phil and Amanda's blog are so cute! We visited the cemetary and then on Monday morning we went to Ashland's parade to honor our heros from past and present wars. That includes my family where my Dad served in WWII and my Bros. Greg and Phil served in Vietnam...thanks for keeping our country free and safe! After the parade it was back home for outdoor work...deck painting, chair painting, lawn mowing, garden planting. We did however find time to cook some amazing ribs and make homemade icecream . Whew...I was happy to go to work today to rest up! Hope everyone had a fun weekend!









The fruit of my recycling old plastic chairs...repaint them!

This icecream was awesomely delish! Come to YaYa! (Or better yet, come to YaYa's hips!)

cute chairs! wish we coulda been there for the parade and then the ribs! those parades always make me cry to see all the vets and think of what they've sacrificed for us(and I don't think I'm that emotional most of the time).
