Memorial Day Parade


We went to the Memorial Day parade in Shreve this year. It was great for Daniel and all little kids (especially boys). There were tractors, horses, goats, a cement truck, a tow truck, fire and rescue trucks, police cars, a high school band, majorettes, a monster truck, and others I can't recall. Only once did a vehicle blow a loud horn, so the little kids weren't scared. We loved it and so did Daniel, though he doesn't look like it in the picture. I put him in his patriotic t-shirt and gave him a flag. He was quite the all-American boy.

Strawberries......

We have loads of strawberries right now. Our plants are three years old and producing wonderfully. I picked several large bowls full and one day a nearly full 5 gallon bucket!

I've made 24 cups of jam and frozen some whole berries. Unfortunately, I am strawberried-out and they are starting to go to waste. I'm giving them away to anyone who wants to come pick them. Any takers??

Summertime Fun in the Clear Fork River

The Mommy gang (Holmes', Ackers, Foxxs) headed over to the Clear Fork River in Mohican State Park one recent hot, muggy day.

We all waded and played in the clear, cool waters and had a picnic lunch on the banks. What fun! We already plan to return a few times this coming summer.

Mother's Day Weekend

We headed up to Whitehouse for Mother's Day weekend.


There was a lovely lunch at Grandma's for all the ladies catered by the menfolk. What a treat! Afterwords, Daniel got to ride his first horse at Great Aunt Rita's house. He seemed to enjoy it.

She also had pigs, sheep, and a few goats. The pigs were his favorite. Just like at our county fair last fall.
