The American Flag Proudly Displayed

Happy Memorial Day to all!  We stopped at the Cedar Rapids Fire Dept. yesterday to take a picture.  What a sight to behold.

The trip home

Rick and his Mom left Wednesday to make the trip back home to Grand Rapids, MN.  They stopped at Aaron's house to visit the great grandchildren. On the left is Andrew who is 2.5 and on the right is Will who is is almost 4.

Here they are with Grandpa Rick having a good laugh.

One of my dearest friends, Gretchen celebrated her 72nd birthday on April 23 and I was lucky to spend the day with her.  She continues to be a cancer survivor.  Isn't she beautiful?

Rick's Mom Dorothy and his sister Sandy came for a visit.  We went to Pita's for lunch and had a latte at Roasters for desert.

Rick's Mom Dorothy went to our gal Brenna to get a great haircut during her visit.

Friday Funny Papers

My friend Kim gave this to me while meeting for lunch this week.  I took it as a compliment (obviously) I always come prepared!
