Long Memorial Day weekend

A year ago, on May 22, 2007, was the day we laid Branta to rest. I wanted to remember her by posting a picture. I can't seem to find others right now, so thought I would use this one. She certainly was a fine retriever and great companion. We miss her dearly.

We are headed to Tuttle for the holiday weekend, so don't think I've dropped off the face of the earth because I haven't posted in a few days. This will be our first trip to Tuttle this year, so I'm sure there will be a little work to do.

Gage isn't too thrilled about going. He's afraid he's going to be bored not having any friends to play with. We have all kinds of fun things to do to keep him entertained, and lots of books. Emma is concerned about not having a television to watch, and I saw she had the portable DVD player packed. Hopefully everyone will be too busy to watch it.

Scott is waiting on me, so I best get going.

Oh, and today was Gage's last day of school! He is no longer a first grader and that seems very unreal to me! His report card was excellent and we are so very proud of both Gage and Emma! We are so grateful to have such wonderful kids.

Have a happy holiday weekend!
