Good bye, water and pie


Today we said good bye to our dear friend Jessie. We will miss him terribly. Our hearts go out to his wife and our friend Lee and their children. He had a beautiful send off filed with friends and fond memories. A rainy day embraced us at the graveside as we listened to his gun salute and the words from the American Legion. Hearing taps with that backdrop was just emotional, I am sure it moved everyone there.


On a lighter note, Joseph went upstairs to wash his face today...somehow broke a water pipe on the sink. I could hear running water...and found a bathroom floor soaked and of course...it came downstairs. So we decided to make Pumpkin Pies! Here are the kids with their spoons and aprons on. I didn't have all the ingredients so I had to make some substitutions --yikes! I think they will eat anything with whip cream on top, so I'm not to worried.
