Happy Birthday Phillip!

What a pleasure to wish Phill a Happy Birthday ~ he is a gift in each of our lives! He gives us laughter, kindness, peace and joy! We love you and wish you a special birthday and year ahead. To celebrate Phill we gathered for a cookout for burgers, hot dogs, gifts and lemon cake ~ and then headed to see the new "Indiana Jones" movie. We loved the time together. Our son ~ we are proud of you through and through. We love you.

The Memorial Day weekend has just been awesome here at the Smith house! The weather is absolutely FANTASTIC ~ those perfect days of mid 70's, clear blue sky and no humidity. Ahhhhhhhh ~ it just makes you smile. We have spent time: at the nursery getting flowers and vegetables to plant and planted them, watched a few movies at home and at the theater, slept in, Alden and I took a drive downtown to our wonderful Capitol to see the sights of Memorial Day, enjoyed the sunset on the Potomac and peaceful converation, annual Memorial Day church service that honors those in the miliary past and present, talked with neighbors and enjoyed a block party on our street .........and of course family time. ~ we are blessed and know it ~ thankful we are.

Thank you to all who have served and are serving our great country ~ USA

One nation under God ~this nation is yours God.
