Red, White & Broke

What have we done this weekend? Well... hubby's car decided to smoke on Friday. It's in the shop getting fixed and then will be put up for sale. We wound up purchasing a car for hubby and new furniture for the living room (for those of you who follow the blog you'll remember that we sold our living room furniture at the community yard sale a few weeks ago). We got great deals so that helped ease the pain of making such big purchases.

As far as fun goes, Dairy Queen, mini golf, bowling and a surprise invite to my cousin's house for a BBQ rounded out the excitement. We went to our small town's Memorial Day Parade which, I must admit, was really fun. It flooded me with childhood memories of the Memorial Day parades I attended with my family. It felt great to see Chris excited about the festivities. Of course we also were trying to explain to him the purpose of this important day. When asked what his favorite part was he replied, "the candy". Of course... who wouldn't love the candy that was thrown by the people participating in the parade. He honestly collected as much as he does on Halloween. Not a bad gig.

Hope you are all enjoying the day with family and friends and a special thank you to all of you who have served or are currently serving our country and for fighting for the freedom that we enjoy each and every day

Remember the church parades? Oh I know we complained at times about them, but I really miss those times! Enjoy your day!
