FALLEN HEROES

In Honor of my Grandfather, Richard Norman Pray, April 26, 1905 - October 18, 1972
WW II Veteran.

I have to say watching Pete and the boys raise this flag 6:30 this morning was far more than just sentimental. I can not imagine the emotions my mother felt when they handed her this flag 37 years ago. I was only 4 years old when he passed away, so my memories are only those captured and stored within a tin box full of old polaroid photos.

I can proudly say, I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN and am overwhelmed by the sacrifices of the many men and women who have come before me.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Proud Moments

Pround moments.... dont we love them! Jared's 90 second debut was executed perfectly!

It's Spring

The pictures prove it, right?! The garden is sprouting it's first fruits already! We've got, peas, onions, broccoli, spinach, turnips, and carrots sprouting their tiny heads thru the dirt. It just amazes me every year, we wait and wait and wait for the grass to turn green for the leaves to bud, for the grass to grow for the birds to sing, and BAM we get up the next morning and it's all right there! The grass turning bright green is just a beautiful sight, until you realize at the same time it needs cutting :) I think this year although Jared is tall enough, we need to strap some ankle weights around his waist and make him heavy enough to operate my John Deere mower!
