Memorial Day weekend doings and undoings

Sure was dark inside.
Salmon pink anyone?

As you can see, we have busy here. Should be "labor day" instead of Memorial Day. Richard and Jason (Mel's hubby) did a face lift on the garage and then the house. They worked the better part of 2 weeks repairing and painting. The neighbors were horrified with the color. Rich had his own ideas about what we should do, but I just had to nix the nipple idea. We sure had the neighbors worried. The comments were flying, and not all good. The actual painting only took about two days for the house and 3 days for the garage. Uncle Paul and Aunt Wanda came out Friday and gave the job their stamp of approval.

As as now, we don't have anything planned for tomorrow. We did our cemetery hopping on Saturday. (Check out Rich's Facebook) We decided to take Zoom Zoom (our Miata) for the drive, top off, and really enjoyed the afternoon. We went to lunch first at the Toad Stool, then took off for Boise and the Vet's Cemetery to see Shorty. Visited with him for a little while, made music by tapping on the fronts of the burial wall, then went up to Dry Creek to see my grandparents. From there we headed for home by way of Horseshoe Bend. The drive was peaceful and very beautiful. The river was high and the dam had one spillway open. We then stopped at Emmett Cemetery, found Nellie and Charlie in the "Oddfellows" section, and the Horns at the south side, toward the rim at the tee in the road. We knew the general area everyone was at, just had to find the exact spots. After we visited with the grandparents, we stopped at Roe Ann's to get root beer floats. We decided to take them home, which worked out well as Gale and Rudy were in our driveway. They came out to see the house.

(We originally weren't going to post the photos, just make everyone come out, but decided to pique your interest with a taste.)

Hope everyone has a safe and fun day.
