Watching them play...

How did you spend your Memorial Day? We spent ours at our sons house and had a
wonderful time just being with him and our daughter-in-law and our grands. I took over
300 photos!! Yes...that many so you know I really edited them down to share these
few with you. The best of the best...I think anyways! lol

Precious Ainsley having fun playing in the water. Isn't she just too adorable!!
I just love her swimsuit and hat!

Big sister Annika having fun as well. Their other grandma brought over a small white enamel washtub
that her husband used to take baths in when he was little and did they ever have fun with that!!
You would have thought it was a huge pool!! 

I had to throw this photo in...I made these for lunch and they were a hit. So easy.
Cream puffs and strawberry kabobs drizzled in chocolate.

We grilled corn for part of our evening meal and it was so yummy.
Ainsley sure is enjoying hers.

She is my sweetie girl...looks just like her daddy! Look at those sweet little hands and toes. 

Annika sure has an interesting way to eat corn! I think she was trying to get off every last kernel.

Enjoying her strawberries and cream puffs! She is so funny! She ate it like corn on the cob instead
of taking each one off . She had chocolate everywhere and if you notice, she even added more
chocolate to hers.  She was even licking her arm. *giggle* I thought I added that photo, but
obviously not. :)


After lunch inside our DIL was washing some drawings off the window {the kids used
window markers and have a lot of fun} and little Ms. Ainsley decided that she wanted
to help. Notice the chocolate covered face and a partially eaten strawberry
in her hand?? hee hee

Working for her supper??? *smile* 

Our youngest son Nathan enjoying the day with the kiddos.

Little patriotic Ainsley...all in all it was a fabulous day...

UNTIL...

off we went to the ER again!  Hubby this time.  He had shown me a little
pimple like thing on his hand on Friday and said he hoped it didn't turn into
a boil like some men at work had been getting...well guess what?? His hand
swelled up huge and after we all ate our dinner/supper  he mentioned that
the pain was shooting up to his elbow during the day which I did not know
 I knew this was not good so we made a hospital run! Now what is it with
holidays and us this year?? I had my  appendix out over Easter and now
 this on Memorial Day? ugh.

Long story short, he has a dilly of an infection and had to stay in the hospital
for a few hours while they pumped him full of antibiotics through an IV. Now
he is on TWO very potent antibiotics here at home as well. They said they
gave him the top of the line meds at the hospital.  I wanted him to stay home
from work yesterday,but not my hubby. He is not one to miss work for any
 reason whatsoever so off he went. Please keep him in your prayers that this
will heal quickly and he won't have anymore problems with it.

so...what did you do on Memorial Day???

I am that person...

...who loves America and all she stands for.

I am that person who will always remember the lives
sacrificed for us that we might live in a free country.
I am that person who gets very sentimental every
time a flag passes by.

I am that person who still stands and puts my
hand over my heart when I see the red, white
and blue.

I am that person who believes that our flag is
more than just cloth and ink.

I am that person who still believes in America.
I am that person who loves the land of the free
and the home of the brave.

As you celebrate this memorial weekend with friends
and family please take a moment to be *that person*
too.
Blessings~

Down On The Corner... ~

Who would have ever thought...a *FLEA MARKET* on our little corner out in the country! We live on a dirt road just 3/4 mile off a main road and the couple who purchased the place down on the corner are holding a flea market this weekend! Talk about excited! They only charged people $5 to set up. There were cars stopping along the road the whole time we were there and it was exciting to see.
Hubby and I went to a town about 14 miles away yesterday garage saling and I found nothing. (he got a few tools,but that doesn't count...LOL) Then we come home and in our own back yard we find treasures! Love this old stand with clay pots ~ Just about anything you can imagine ~
I scored this window for $3 and also purchased three more ! (I will take the flowers off for my project) I have been looking for old windows for months now and I find these 3/4 mile down the road. Talk about happy!! AND they have more...they just live up the road and have gobs of old windows. I got their phone number...yay! ~ Look closely and you will see more windows that I purchased~ Doesn't this look like the *PLACE TO BE* this weekend ~
Lots of treasures to choose from~
Bill and Jane (the couple running it) even have a lunch wagon that they set up so we ate hotdogs and chips and drank fresh squeezed lemonade as well. We sat under a GO BLUE Michigan awning and just had a wonderful time ~
There was also a Amish wagon full of baked goods , but I didn't get a photo of that. We are hoping along with Bill and Jane that this will turn into a huge hit and attract more people each time. They are also having it the 4th of July weekend and over Labor Day. Can't wait to see how this takes off ...this could put our little Buckeye Road on the map! LOL I did purchase some other goodies , but will post them later. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings~
