Memorial Day when we take time to remember not only the brave men and women who have given their lives to keep our country free, but our own who have passed on over the years.

Also on a happy note—Hubby turns 64 today!

Yep he is looking good and doing well.  Saturday we made Raisin Scones up for baking on Sunday morning.  He made a Frittata with potato and prosciutto for brunch when Wes, Deb, and the kids came up and brought his cake and gift. 

Sunday afternoon Les, Anne, and Courtney came up for dinner of Mustard and pepercorn crusted rib-eyes and marcorni salad.  Our friend Richard dropped by also.  Les installed the Plus Deck2 I had boughtJay as his gift to his Dad. 

But the highlight of these two days was watching Hubby walking through the grocery store picking out goodies to make these special meals for his kids.  And make them he did.  I read the recipes, did part of the measuring, but he planned it and put it together.  A tremenous improvement over just two weeks ago.  He has been off oxygen fot almost a week now.  He was cooking pancakes and bacon on the griddle for myself and SEB’s crew this morning and had Courtney standing by to watch for bubbles in the pancakes for him.

Sweet thing had been up with David on Wednesday to mow the yard (2 + acres)  and help out because she works on the weekends.

So all in all it was a great holiday!  Hope yours was too!
