Clint took days off so we had an extra long Memorial Day weekend. We worked on the Asbell Project with our group and accomplished a great deal! To God be the glory! Pictures should be up on that site sometime later this week.
Clint and I took advantage of the beautiful weather to have some time alone in Kilmarnock and Mathews visiting with friends, kayaking, and sight seeing. We weren't sure if our annual May trip to that area would work out this year, but it did. It looks like our June trip is going to work out too!

Then, we had a fun time as a family with a delicious and bountiful buffet of grilled foods, fresh vegetables, fruit, and desserts some of which were provided by friends.
Clint was still helping at the waterman's house, so I grilled for hours while Emily cooked on the stove. Hannah stayed very busy helping both of us. I charcoal grilled hamburgers, beef franks, chicken breasts, chicken legs, ribs, steaks, brats, and much more. Our family feasted, and we shared with neighbors while we gave thanks for those who died in service to our great nation.
It was a very productive, but still relaxing and fun filled family weekend!

Rather we should thank God such men lived."
