Weekend

 






Let Summer Begin! 

The weather here has been beautiful lately. Low 70's, sunshine. Tim has the pool open now, and he says with the temps going up this week, it might be warm enough to swim in this coming weekend!

I always decorate patriotically for summer starting with Memorial Day and right through Labor Day in September. I need to add some more potted flowers to the deck but otherwise we are good to go!

We ate lunch on the deck yesterday and the sheep (they belong to our Amish neighbors but live in our barn and pasture) were bleeting away. They do this when they want something. Our neighbor came over after getting home from church and he said they were complain that he'd closed them into the barn. However, when they were getting ready to head to church all the sheep had gotten out of their fencing and were in their yard!

Our neighbors are moving in a few weeks, to their farm in York county. We will miss them so much, escape artist sheep, too!

We are in the midst of another full birthday month. Rachel's was yesterday, Weston's in tomorrow, then four grand birthdays, and my sister in laws bday! 

We are making plans for family/friends visits this summer in July and August! 

Can't wait!

Information Friday

 

My kitchen is ready for summer!

It's been a good week here. We finished school, had evaluations, and I personally have completed my 32nd year of homeschool!


I have a few things for you today. With a lot of information coming out about various ways the left (and some rino never Trumpers) tried to take out Trump, I thought it was interesting that DJT linked to this article over on his Truth Social account.


















We are going to find out that the election of 2020 was stolen and that J6 was a set up against Trump.




DNI Gabbard doesn't not leave until June 30th. Keep your eyes open!

This is important, too! They tried anything they could to split Trumps base from him.


This election cycle has seen the removal of Rinos who have their own agenda.



Gas prices are coming down in our area. 

From Newt Gingrich







I think I'll end there for today.

I hope you all have a good weekend. Eat good food, spend time with those you love, get out into nature.

God loves you, and I do, too!

Memorial Day Begins The Summer Holidays

 On Sunday, Tim and I took our oldest son and our daughter in law out to lunch to celebrate our son's birthday. My mom kept their girls, so it was just the four of us! That hasn't happened for years!

You all likely remember what it was like in the midst of the parenting years. They had a great time, too! We actually spent the entire afternoon out and about and it was really good.

We took them to a favorite place to eat on the Chesapeake Bay, and walked around the waterfront after.

We found this Memorial, which was pretty appropriate on Memorial Day weekend.






Gold Star Families Memorial Monument - A Tribute to Gold Star Families and Relatives who sacrificed a Loved One for our Freedom.

It was very special.


Yesterday, we had family and friends here for a cookout. It was drizzling and chilly so we ate inside. We gave thanks for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their nation. For us, so we can live in freedom.

We can never repay what we've been given but we can live gratefully.

Memorial Day begins the Summer holidays here at our home. We are finishing school this week, the pool will open soon (its just been too cold for swimming). In my mind the summer months have three holidays - Memorial Day, Independence Day, then Labor Day. All are patriotic holidays. 

I always decorate with American flags, and bunting, and this year being the Semiquincentennial of our nation Tim and I bought a bunting to hang on the deck railing at the back of the house. It can be seen and read from the road! 

I was 13 years old the year we celebrated our 200th Anniversary. It was a big deal, and I know that this 250th will be a big deal as well!

God Bless America, may we always remember that we are One Nation, Under God.

Friends, the peonies have begun to bloom! They are such a beautiful flower, and this kind have a beautiful scent, too! I'm thankful to be able to go into my garden and cut flowers to bring into my home!


Today we had shocking news.




We must pray for Abraham and his complete healing!

I'm sad for this diagnosis, and I am sad that she must step away from her work. She has been a vital player in uncovering corruption among the intelligence agencies. Also has been working on the bioweapons labs in Ukraine and other places.






God be with Tulsi and Abraham and bring them comfort and peace in this fight for his health.



Also this woman is speaking out after being sentenced to 40 years for fraud in Minnesota, saying that Walz, Ellison, and more knew of the fraud going on.








There are Republicans who would rather keep their power games going than do what is right for the American people.


Wow! I hope this passes!

The administration is working on Cuba now...



Look at these posts from 2017

This video cracks me up!



Have a great weekend friends.
