Memorial Day

I hope that everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend! We certainly did. We hit the road Wednesday after work and made it to Chapin Illinois Thursday morning. We camped out in Charlie's Mom's yard. What fun! On Friday we attended Jana's graduation, which was very nice. Then she had her graduation party that night at the legion. That went really well! Charlie and Christopher, who is finally back from Japan, set up the PA system and played for the crowd for almost three hours. It was a really good time. Then on Saturday we drove four hours south to Olmsted Illinois to Knox Drive, where a nice Memorial Day cook out was in progress. Again, the PA system went up and the music flowed.... this time, someone had a small TV so we plugged into karaoke for while, too. It was a lot of fun. We slept on our air mattresses inside the barn. We had perfect weather. On Sunday Charlie and Christopher helped their Dad with a room in the new house, so me and the kids spent most of the day going for walks, eating mint and honeysuckle, and playing in the creek. I took my digital camera but left the memory card in the computer so I have no pictures to share. I know Candy got several good shots, maybe she will be so kind and send a few to us... I grabbed her camera and got a good picture of Christopher driving the tractor will all the kids and Charlie riding in the bucket. We need at least that one! We left Olmsted Sunday at four pm and took Tanner home, then we immediately turned the Expedtion Eastward. We stayed in a hotel just over the Indiana border and finally made back to Maryland at about 7:30 pm on Monday.
Anyway, I hope you are all well. We are!
