This past week.....

This past week has been very busy for us. I had to work midnights all week plus go to the parade, and go to the picnic. The top two pics are from Memorial Day. Cody's boyscout troop were in the parade and then afterwards they retired old American flags. This is the second year that they have retired old flags. I did not know until last year what it entaled . But before they can be retired in the fire, there is a ceremony that they have to do first. So when you look at the pics remember this is NOT a flag burning, they are properly retiring the flags that are torn and faded.



This picture was actually taken today, and there is a story behind it. It is actually really sweet. This past Saturday May 26th, I went to the Blueridge Parkway with a woman that I work with to take some pictures of a wedding for Diane. I had Casey go with me, cause I thought that it would be sweet to have her at a wedding. Anyway, the girl that was married was like a niece to Diane, so I told Diane that I would help with decorations and that I would do the wedding pics. Anyway. The church was a really old rock, and small church. Beautiful place to get married. It ended up pouring the rain a little after we got there, so it ended up being an indoor wedding. But beside of the church was a cemetary. And Casey was helping get some things set up for the reception. And she looked over at the cemetary and asked if we could go over there and see her Mawmaw B. I then had explain to a 6 year old that her Mawmaw wasn't buried at this particular grave site. And I had to promise to take her to take a flower to her Mawmaw B's grave. So due to Casey being at DJ's last Sunday night, we didn't get to go to the gravesite until today after her picnic. I stopped and let her pick out the flowers that she wanted to put on the grave. We ended up having to put it on her Pawpaw B's though, for Mawmaw B doesn't have a headstone, which Casey fussed at her daddy for that. Anyway, I just thought that it was sweet the way she remembered her grandma and wanted to take a flower to her grave.




These other pics are from Casey's picnic at the park with the kindergarden class. I was just glad that I could make it. Being on 3rd shift is the only reason that I got to go. We had fun and I took several pics of Casey with her friends.
Now before I end this blog, I do have some updates to make. Norma (Nunu) went to the doctor on Thursday this week, and she got good news, the tumor has shrunk a little more. So I still ask that everyone continue to keep her in your prayers, pray that the tumor in her breast and the one on her chest continues to shrink. And that her body keeps the strength needed to fight this cancer off. Thank you.
