5th Anniversary

Some of the family got together today in honor of Dad and the 5th anniversary of his death. We visited his grave and cleaned a bit and replaced the old faded flowers with fresh new ones.



Then we all gathered back at Mom's house for BBQ'd steaks, cooked by Sharla's fiance, Jaron. Yumm, were they good!


Mom had some excitement recently at her house, she came home to find the back yard and her woodpile and beautiful apple tree on fire! A call to 911 soon brought the fire department to her aid. Her neighbor had been burning weeds and I guess a spark got away and ignited the woodpile next to her fence and leaped up to start the apple tree on fire, then spread out across her lawn. Luckily, the house and her sheds didn't catch on fire!



The poor tree looks bad and Andy pruned some of the worst looking branches. We'll have to wait and see if any life is left in the remaining tree. The wood pile is a loss but the lawn will recover.
