Memorial Day Weekend

It was a busy holiday doing landscaping at the office on Saturday, a wedding Saturday night and restless sleep from all the sweets. It was a good day of accomplishments.

Sunday I participated in a Memorial Salute to those who have served and are serving. It was hard to do because of the saluting. My right arm really was not up to snuff, but I got it done anyways. Then lunch with my adopted mom and dad for the day, Clarence and Barb, since their son Mike (air force) was going to his new church in Ravenna so I was their soldier son for the afternoon. The rest of the day was a chill out recouping from Saturday.

Monday started off with showers so we cancelled our going to see the parade. Instead we ended up working at the new property mulching with Heather and Ron, Caleb and Micah. We got the mulching done and then Ron decided he wanted to be like his father in law last year. He ended up with 7 stitches in his right foot. He swung the ax to cut a branch and after it glanced off it cut his shoe and his right foot and toe damaging the tenons. After I wrapped him up with the first aid kit supplies, he was off to the hospital. The boys stayed with Patti and I and we cut grass, hauled mulch back to the four wheelers trails, then went four wheeling back thru the property.

Ron is OK. It will be tough with him going back to school for 8 more days, but he doesn't want to miss that perfect attendance reward. $$$$. Last year on this same date I split my head open when I flipped one of the dune buggies while at Ron's grandma Flatt's property in Butler. If he had only hit his head with the ax and got staples he could have joined the Steelhead Club that me, Caleb and Micah are in.

Pray for Pastor Quick as he started his interferon today. It will be a tough road for him.
