Memorial Day Wrap-Up

Kari and I had a good Memorial Day weekend. We got to see Caleb and Noah take part in Memorial Day services in Genesee and Ulysses. They sure looked spiffy in their pee-wee t-ball uniforms! In Ulysses they had a parade where they threw candy to the crowd. Noah promised Emmy that he would throw "handfuls" of candy in her direction only if she promised to share. As we followed the parade up the hill to the cemetery, Emily cleaned up every piece of candy along the way.

On Sunday, Robb and Theresa Cowburn stopped by my parents house and we had a nice long visit. Then I got to see some people at the Ulysses service on Monday that I haven't seen in a long time, including Buddy and Roxie Watson. Everyone looks really good, basically the same as I remember from high school--although, I'll bet we'd all have a good laugh looking at our high school yearbook pictures. I'm sure they are in such good shape from chasing their beautiful (and energetic!) kids around.

In other news, the closing process is continuing on the new house Mom and Dad are buying. It's on School Street right across the road from Richards'. They expect to close sometime in late June or July.
