We missed you today Brent! Pa got a special honor at the Memorial Day Parade for having been a founding member of the Dexter Legion 60 years ago! We were very proud of him. There was a good speaker who was an orthopedic surgeon in Iraq and he described how they can get to the front, in the midst of battle and set up a mobile operating room in the middle of the desert. wow... We had the usual picnic at Pa's on a beautiful day. The top picture in your blog looks like what Pa was describing to us-they were playing cards when they landed at Normandy, threw their cards down, waded through the water and onto the beach and into battle-quite incredible-he was only 20 years old!
Can't wait to see you this weeked!! Gracie
