Memorial Day



We spent Sunday & Memorial Day in Jackson again this year. These pictures are actually from last year when Jim gave the Memorial Day Address. The whole family was extremely proud of him. Jim had a great speech and received many nice comments. We had a fun weekend, all of Dan's siblings were there with spouses and the younger nieces and nephews. The parade and ceremony were this morning and then many set off for the cemetery. The weather was great, the gnats were the only annoyance. We had a picnic with brats and other good things. We left around 2 and were back home by 6.
As soon as we got home, we decided to haul a full sized bed down to the cabin. That sucker was heavy! We used my truck for the mattress and frame but used a dolly for the box. Dan just rolled it down the hill. Luckily, the other room already had a full bed so that will be easier. We just want to paint in there first. So, with the bed(and it's a comfy one!) now set up, someone could actually spend the night if they wanted to. The kitchen is still a mess but it's getting closer to completion. Let us know when you'd like to visit!!

Thanks, Darlene! Full and twin sized sheets are very welcome, especially in whites, light blue, pink or florals. Laurie
