The Latest

Although it was mostly a working weekend for Wayne, we did enjoy some nice weather, got some yard work done, he got out to the car races, and we had the pleasure of some good company. We talked to Eric on their 6th wedding anniversary. Can you believe its been six years since that fabulous party in Winnipeg! Looking forward to seeing them in less than two weeks.

Wayne was the speaker for a Memorial Day service at Telemarken Lutheran Church in rural Wallace. This place has a nice tradition of an annual service and it was well attended by folks from many states.
Travis, Lisa and Aubrey stopped by for a quick visit on their way home from family time with the Walkers.
And then ... Wayne fired up the smoker and prepared a feast for us and some neighbor families. Four racks of ribs, two chickens and a beef brisket. yumm, yumm.
Our little neighbor girl Kendra enjoying a cupcake. Too bad Aubrey can't share a little of her hair with Kendra :)

Fabulous Friday

Finish staining the deck - check;
plant flowers in the pots - check;
feed and weed the lawn - check;
fill the raised beds with more flowers - check;
sit out with the neighbors and enjoy a fire - check.

What a great start to the weekend.
Time for a shower (and maybe some ibuprofen for the back)

Bliss

We had a nice Friday day off. We woke up to sunshine, had coffee at the Goss, and then errands to run in Sioux Falls....so you know what that means. Thanks again Travis and Lisa for letting us stop in (and feeding us!) Here's a couple of pictures of Aubrey and Grandma.

I got her some stickers.

Happy Mother's Day

Hurrah for our moms!! We took a trip to Aberdeen to visit our mothers.... and forgot to bring the camera!! So I looked back in the archives and found some pics of some past visits. (I'm not sleeping, I'm enjoying the beautiful weather). Thanks moms for your unconditional love.

Otherwise, things haven't been terribly exciting around here. The weather has kept us from yard work and finishing the deck (its only 1/2 stained!) I had an especially busy week at work with the publication of the quarterly Hospice Newsletter that has been added to my tasks. Wayne made a trip to Sioux Falls for hospital visits and got to see Travis, Lisa and Aubrey for a brief (but fun) visit. He reports that she learns something new daily. We're thankful that Travis is recovering well from his knee surgery last Monday. Sorry that he continues to have pain, but thankful he can get around okay.

Looking forward to a warmer and sunnier week!
