Memorial Day, 2010

The day started out with the flags at half-staff to honor those no longer with us here on Memorial Day, 2010. There were about 300 people here this day. Fifty families had stones placed for their loved ones today, much excitement!!
These men are the Honor guard that do the Twenty-one gun salute at all our funerals here in Medford. The man on the left is my husband, Ken, calling the men to attention for the playing of "Taps."

The plane that drops the wreath into the river- honoring those that lost their lives at sea. The wreath finds it's way to shore and is brought up and placed in front of the wall.


At high noon, the Boy Scouts do their part and raise the flags up to full staff to blow in the wind, what a glorious sight , indeed. Old Glory is the main focal point, just as she should always be. Look at that sky!! Not a cloud around today!! --Scan down--more posts to follow--

Memorial Day, 2010

My "Army Guy"- his name has been on this wall for three years and I finally got him to stand up there so I could got a picture of him. He does such a good job with his Honor Guard team at these events, I am proud of him!!
Here is his stone that our kids purchased for him for Christmas that year. There are a lot of other family members placed next to Ken's stone.

Our eldest son, Bruce was in the Army also, so he has a stone on the wall.


I don't know this family, but these parents were so proud to have their son home from the Marines for this Memorial Day. Something about a man in full dress uniform that brings back memories--hum---Time to remember the reason for this day and those that did not come home also. Thanks for serving --all you military men and women!!!

Charli's Confirmation, May 23, 2010

We had a double header on Sunday. First Jack Rodman was baptized at the 8:00 worship and then at the 10:15 service, Charli was confirmed as she pledged her life to God and the church.
We were not in a good seat for taking photos at church, so I only got these from the party at the park following services. Charli and her parents waiting for the cake to be cut.

Come on, Gramma, get it done, the cake is melting here!!


Two pretty girls!! Tim was in charge of his favorite grand-daughter, Lily Angel, so we had to get a shot of her with Charli. Congratulations go to you Charli!! We are proud to have you in our family.

Munson Bridge Winery-May 16,2010

Paul and Lynn took us out today for a Mother's/Father's Day treat. We only went about ten miles from their home and this is where we ended up. The owners started as a hobby to make their own wine and ended up in a very unique business. The scene is at an old barn, turned into a winery and gift shop. Here is an old dresser turned into a display case of wine.
Some of the many , many bottles of wines for sale. People drive for miles, just to purchase their wine here.
I just loved this one- an old piano, turned into a display case holding wine glasses. You are given a glass and you get to taste several different wines. I liked "Juila's Raspberry." It was so good!!!
Outside we found this glass bottle tree. A metal thing bent to shape like a tree and all different colors of bottles hanging on it, upside down. It looks like I am lifting off a bottle, no way!!- They are all held on some way. The lady told us they even hold weddings there. The upper floor (the hayloft to us farmers) is set up for dancing and picture taking. I tell you, these folks thought of everything. Thank You, Paul and Lynn for a great day!! Love you guys--
