A great weekend

Warm all weekend although a little breezy.

Had a few friends over for corn hole and pool Friday night. Too windy for a fire.

Saturday got some cleaning done, Lilly, Isaiah and Logan came over for mud pie and volcano making later on in the afternoon.

Sunday after church and dinner, we all ended up at the pond. Jess and Kara took the kids fishing. Jess has been working on the trees and landscaping back there as well. I went over later on and took Mom and Dad back, just to sit around. By then Darren was there and after he got done mowing our yard Rick came over. They have a new shed to put up and was discussing that and just enjoying the first real day to sit back there.

Mom and Dad are making final preparations for trip to Jeanne's for Davids' graduation. Jess is riding along and now also Lilly is going. She can't wait to see Rachel, they will have a great time. Wish I could be there, but can not make it this time. Will be leaving Thursday the 28 and back Sunday. Graduation is Friday.

Rick and I will be going to Vegas June 8 - June 15.

Happy Mothers' Day !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all have a have a wonderful day.

"Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother." -- Lin Yutang


"God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers." -- Jewish proverb


"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." -- Washington Irving (1783-1859)

Thank You MOM, I Love You !!!!

Great weekend.

A couple of great days in a row. We got a lot of yard work done Saturday, mowed, flower beds, and trimming trees. Dad called in the afternoon and wanted his and Mom's picture taken in front of tree that was blooming, so ran over there and did that. Lilly was here and Isaiah came over to help with the yard work and spend the night.

Sunday after church, Jess took the two of them over to the pond to fish. Dad was already back there. Finished off the afternoon with spaghetti and cornhole.

Doesn't get much better than that. Hope you had a great weekend also.

Spring Pictures

Hey, what's everyone doing?

Hope all is well.

Been raining here and not much crop work done. May is going to be pretty busy. When it dries out, the farmers will be at it hard. Because of that I will not be going to Jeanne's for Davids' graduation May 29th, unless it is raining that week and it would work, but I believe the plan is right now for Jess to go with them. The plan is for them to go out Thursday and leave Sunday. I'm sorry I will have to miss, had a good time there last spring.

Mom and Dad have been getting some yard work done and mowing along. They bought a new shed for the pond. Jess went with them last week to pick it up.

We have mowed at home and got a few trees down out of the back lot, trying to clear it up a little. Need to spray some 2,4D to keep the weeds down and let the grass grow. Still pretty wet back there yet from all the rain. Mosquitos will be bad back there. Have to get some donuts for the water.

Got some windows and window sills cleaned last weekend. Going to get an open trash container at Dad's to start in on the basement and barn and wood shed. They really want to get rid of some of that stuff.

Ross is back to work, Jess is still off.

Kids are all good. Kallie had her baptism April 19, and then we all went out for dinner. I will post some pics when I get home. Lilly and Isaiah will be starting summer ball pretty soon. Lilly's last day of school is May 22.

Hope you all got to see the video of John's homecoming. I am trying to download it to my computer so we always have it. I downloaded a program to make it happen, but have not had success yet at saving it and being able to play it. I will continue to try. It probably won't always be online so I was trying to save it.

Homecoming

Hi All,

As you can imagine today is a very special day.  Tonight we will go get John.  He arrives at about 10:30PM.   WGAL channel 8 in Harrisburg, Lancaster, York came to the house and spoke with Stan and me about it.  It will air on the 6 oclock news.  Perhaps you can tune in on the internet!!!  We have decorated the drive with 100 flags and our banner is up with lights.  We ordered a really cool one!!!!  His picture on it too!!!  It will feel good just to touch our son again and know he's back with us.  More later, Jeanne

Spring is coming ????

Don't know if you all get Stan's letters on John, but he will be back in PA on Friday. What a wonderful day that will be for them. Our happiness and blessings are with all of you.

Spring is not coming any too soon around here, some flurries out there today.

Dad, Jess and Lilly went to Hillsdale and got 2 geese. Was looking for one to go with Dads' one after one of the pair died over winter, but had to get 2 of course.

Lilly and Isaiah have signed up for baseball and softball, and Isaiah is registered for kindergarten.

Kallie had her first birthday and Logan had his third. Lilly's bowling party was fun, Dad even bowled a couple of games.

Ross will start back to work next week, so the girls will be back in day care. Big adjustment for all.

Take care all,
Cheryl
