Memorial day: we visited the local veterans memorial for a special event . Always so special. 

Rain stopped after a week of showers. But the heat  and humidity made me thankful for air conditioning.

Happy Birthday Pam: we had a great celebration on our patio for Pam's birthday.. Strawberry cake was great hit from a local baker Sweet Swirls.

Mom's hydrangea bloomed. I thought the winter frost had killed the bush. But it finally bloomed. Sue stopped by for a clipping to plant in her yard in memory of my parents.

The library got a donation for books and supplies. Just in time for Summer Reading that starts June 1st. I'm thankful for all the community support.
