Memorial Day Monday Six Word Memoir
We hung the hammock. The end.
Post notes: We actually eventually got out of the hammock to visit with a neighbor who was home from college and had dropped by. Later, we talked insurance with a salesman at the porch picnic table and picked greens from the garden for lunch. Joe shoveled manure and made a compost. I made some long over-due phone calls, cleaned out the bird feeder, and walked to mailbox but got no mail because it was a holiday, after all.
Photo album photos of loved ones enjoying our hammock in the past like we did on Memorial Day yesterday:
1. My sister Sherry and her husband Nelson.
2. Me with my sister Kathy.
3. My great niece Sam (Kathy’s granddaughter) and a four legged friend.
4. My dad, who passed away in 2005, and my mother.

i played music for a rowdy crowd of bikers, rafters, and fishermen at a local campground. there was lots of alcohol and we could have played ‘mary had a little lamb’, and they would have loved it. you haven’t seen anything until you see a bunch of tattooed,long-haired, biker dudes putting their arms around each other and singing along to ‘you are my sunshine’ at the top of their lungs.

We just hung out. Went breakfast, then went for a walk with Rose. D. spent some time with his family and we had an amazing dinner with a friend. It was a very nice, slow day!

It was funny going on your blog today to see me & Nelson there.
I especially LOVE the picture of Dad & Ma.
I went to Foxwoods with Nelson. We didn’t win anything, but had fun. xo

Your daddy looks like he was enjoying his time in the hammock, bless his heart. Those were great- we did the “round the house and yard” chores too. Just seemed like the perfect time…and what great weather we were blessed with.

25 years ago today I gave birth to a beautiful little girl with a head of black hair and a little button nose. When she was three, I gave her real watercolors for her birthday. Today she is an artist. Check out her blog–she’s really cute: http://www.GreenLovesYou.blogspot.com. I thought about her today while I got 300 lbs. of grain, a hot pink saddle pad for my little (other)daughter’s birthday, and zucchini plants. I also thought about our veterans and how young our soldiers are. Children really. Then I wrote stories.

I went to an international foods and wine garden party. Charming and fun.

I did absolutely nothing. It was well deserved, too.

That hammock holds a lot of memories, doesn’t it? I love the last picture of your Dad and Mom in the hammock.
On Memorial Day, I mowed the lawn, planted petunias, and sat on the porch.
