Memorial Weekend

This weekend Kevin and I are playing host to family and friends. Today my parents came down with my Aunt Ann and Uncle Bobby. Ann came down before Kevin and I got married and Bobby hasn't been down before. They got here about 10:30 this morning and we had a great time visiting with each other. They saw the chickens, compost, and sheep. They brought down a tasty lunch of chicken strips, deviled eggs, deviled egg sandwiches, potato salad, and brownies and Bobby's famous sweet tea. We took them to visit the great big town of Barnwell. They wanted to see where we went to church and some of the town. Which it just took us 30 minutes to see everything. We spent a lot of time sitting on either the back or porch just talking. And of course, Miss Abby was the entertainment. Tomorrow my high school best friend Lindsey and her husband Tim is coming to visit. They have been at the beach all week and are going to stop by on their way home. They are going to spend Sunday night with us. I am looking forward to it.


Kevin had been working all day, and Abby wouldn't get down.

Monday-Lindsey and Tim got here about 1:30-2:00 on Sunday afternoon. It was raining when they got here. It finally stopped raining about 5:00 and we got out the 4-wheeler and golf cart. Kevin and Tim rode the golf cart and Lindsey and I rode the 4-wheeler and went to the creek. Lindsey had never ridden a 4-wheeler before, which I had not either until Kevin and I started dating. When we were coming back to the house Kevin said that the golf cart was going to soon run out of steam. Well, we left them and later found out that after we left, it died and they had to push it back to Kevin's grandmother's house. Oops! :0) We grilled out and then after supper took them to Williston to see the cows and my school. Kevin had to work today so I took them to see Barnwell this morning. Which is about a 30 min. round trip. Then they headed back home. We had a fun visit. Abby found a new friend in Tim. He threw the ball a lot with her. It was fun to have people come and stay with us.

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to those that gave their time and lives for us to celebrate this day. Thank you to those that are still serving. We will never know the sacrifice that you have made for us.
