Yesterday was very busy ~ hubby and I usually attend Lombard's Memorial Ceremony and bring grandma and grandpa. This is the 2nd year in a row that we've been unable to do this ~ I know that grandpa really enjoys it ~ he says 'next year' for sure!! He's always so positive! I went to the ceremony by myself to help the other Lombard Jr's in handing out the flags and patriotic pinwheels. I stayed long enought to hear the wonderful speeches given by the two Vets from WWII ~ one being 91 years old who had been a prisioner of war for 1364 days. He received a standing ovation! Both men were truly endearing...
After the ceremony a small group of us gathered at our dear friend Nancy's house to plant flowers in her front yard. Nancy hasn't been well and never wants from anyone. So with all of us feeling helpless one of the ladies came up with the idea of sprucing up the front yard with flowers! Well, as we were in the planning stages we found out that her neighbors had the same idea ~ only they were targeting the planters. We took care of the landscape area and by the pictures you'll see that we were busy planting and weeding. Each of us brough our own flowers to plant or containers already completed so that there was a variety ~ all to reprsent the group of friends that were there!!! All this was done with great love for a truly special friend.
The day that she can enjoy them will be a glorious day for sure!!!
