A day on the farm

Sunday

I believe the heat has gotten everyone dragged down. We have been lazy today. I did go out and do some grocery shopping. I washed a load of clothes and hung them out. I know, Sunday is for rest. I have no dryer and if I don't stay on top of my washing, it piles up and then we have no clean clothes. David came in this afternoon with a load of dirty clothes. He went to a pulling this weekend and everything he brought was fiflthy. He did feed and milk for me this afternoon.  I went on and made some tuna for lunch this week and for supper, we had hamburger steaks, homemade fries, homemade garlic toast and sweet tea.

I recieved a letter from Jon Brandon yesterday. I just cried and cried. He is making it okay. He stated that he was the leader of his platoon. It said it was hot there. You can tell in his letters that he has changed. He stated that he had the most amazing family at home.(wow, it took the army to make him see that) He also said that he didn't realize how lucky he had it till he got there. He asked for everyone to remember him and his troop in prayers. I also got an email from my friend Kathy, whose son is in the military. I would like to ask that you remember her and Dusty in your prayers.  You know, it takes a special person to join the military and to take the oath to protect and serve our country. It also takes a special family to give up their loved ones to go out and to watch over us. I am very proud to be a military mom, I am very proud of my son to do this special job.  I am also thankful for every service men and women out there who are protecting our country and for their families, my thanks and hearts go out to them.

Tomorrow is a brand new day and I'm anxious to see what the day brings. I pray that the week ahead will be a good one. I pray that at the end of this day, you will find yourself fulled with contentment and joy.

hey there
