For starters, the planting season this Spring was fast and furious followed by a week of rainy weather. This combo allowed Nathan to enjoy the 3-day-weekend with my family for the first time in forever.
And then there was the Covid-19 cloud. This nasty virus has changed many plans including our traditional attendance at the Memorial Day service in the Stamford cemetery.
BUT...Covid can't cancel our family fun. We had all been looking forward to this weekend for months and it certainly kept my spirits up during the long weeks of March, April and May.
How great it was to travel out of the county, chat with new people, shake a hand and HUG!
Anna and Jentry had fun "testing" everyone for the virus and Tucker was an exceptional patient.
Papa, Grandma and Tucker received the green shirt memo and Tucker convinced grandma to drag out every vacuum she owned.
We got participate in the Orleans cruise night and take a spin in the '32 Deuce Coupe and '54 Jeep Willys.
Grandma gave us a private tour of our relatives' graves in the Orleans cemetery. There are more than I was aware!
The kids had so much fun playing together we couldn't even convince them to go to bed when it got dark.
We surprised mom and dad with flowers, cake and Sapphire gin for their Sapphire Anniversary of 45 Years.
Chad and Kelly took the 4 oldest kids to the Sandy Channel for an afternoon of kayaking and fishing.
I stayed back with Tucker and got to mow the lawn. Man did that bring back some memories. It has been a long time since I maneuvered a mower around the old Republican and Walnut street sign. Tucker enjoyed checking out all of Papa's antique yard/farm art.
Mom recently updated the guest bedroom in their basement and informed Kelly and I that she was no longer able to foster our baby dolls. She said it was time they went home to their mothers.
Papa took the boys for a 4-wheeler ride along the river. The had a blast tearing through the mud while I enjoyed the peaceful river views of the place I'm lucky to call home.
