Three Inches of Rain

Like most parts of the U.S. the storms seem to come every week. In Kansas City we are on a record setting pace for tornadoes. Last night the forecast called for 3 inches of rain, fortunately we only received 1 1/2 inches.

Soon after I took these pictures the wind increased so much that the trees in our back yard looked as if they we're going to snap in two. Fortunately they did not.

Memorial Day - Lee's Summit. MO

Yesterday we celebrated Memorial Day. I hope you spent a few moments thinking about those who selflessly gave there lives to provide our country's freedom.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the men and women who have and are now serving our country in the armed services! Your sacrifices to protect our freedom is greatly appreciated. I also hope you were able to spend time with your family.

We were able to do both. After lunch we all piled in our cars and went to the cemetery to visit my mother in-law's grave. Jean pasted away a year and a half ago. She was greatly loved and we miss her.
