It has been 7 years today since I lost my dad.  I still find it difficult to look at fall arrangements without thinking of his funeral.  I haven’t put any out in my house in years.  This picture I took today embodies my thoughts of my dad……………..fall trees and golf.  I love you dad.

Rain, rain, go away May 26, 2008

Well, as I am sure most of you are, I am very disappointed that today is so stormy. I had hoped to pack as much as I could into this holiday. I wanted to play golf, work on our patio/landscape ideas and have a family cookout tonight. Of course, we can still get the family together, which is the most important of all my plans, but I really was looking forward to playing in a golf scramble with another couple too. Another time, another day. Anyway, here is what we have accomplished so far in our back yard. We are still trying to come up with a design for a patio. I don’t want square.  Ideas are welcome. Have a good rest of your Memorial Day. Thinking of you today, Dad. Love you.

Beautimous May 17, 2008

Has this not been a beautimous day?  There is a two man golf tournament going on at the golf course, so the course was closed, but Freddie and I bought some flowers and a new tree and have been outside planting.  Thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors.  Adam and his date are at a baseball game and Lori & Clint have chair set-up at church, but they will all be here later to grill out.  Looking forward to having a family evening.  See you tomorrow at church!
