Decoration Day


Well, we lost our warm weather, it is raining, cold, thundering and Lightning, we did get some hail and some strong winds and the temperatures are in the 40's.  It is not as bad as it was out in Oklahoma, I am thankful my Son-In-Law Ed is working out at Tinker Air Force Base working on the runways and they are safe.

It's Memorial Day Weekend, we have been to the Graves putting up Flags and offering Prayers to all Veterans !

This is a picture of my Dad and Mom and us 8 Kids,  we have lost our Brother Donnie last October at age 72,, he is in the back row, now we just learned my oldest brother John,  6th one in back has just gotten out of the hospital, he has stage 4 lung cancer, all his 7 children are heading for Virginia to spend some time with him.  My brother Ronnie, *(USMC) who is in the suit on the left has a aneurysm in the brain, he is also the one shot several times in Vietnam, he is having problems with his legs and feet and the Doctors at the VA say it is from handling all that "Agent Orange" while in Vietnam, he can not travel much.

The picture below is of me and John, he will be 84 this June 22 hopefully.

This is me and my Brother Donnie who passed away last October from Cancer, he had leukemia.

We have been busy playing and giving the area residents of the Nursing Homes and Hospitals some enjoyment.

.
With the approach of Memorial Day let us remember those Veterans Past and Present.

Remembering the one who gave all, and especially their families today.

Good family picture. Wish we had one. the things some families think of, while others say we can do this later, and later never comes.
Glad you guys can still spread good cheer. Sorry about the weather drop, we are down some ourselves.
Love to you and Anna Mae.

Thank you and your family members who served us and our countries.
We had a neighbor who passed on the 24th of Dec. 2012 from washing his feet in a creek that was polluted with orange agent. He was in his 80's.
