Photo of the Week - Memorial Day, 2008



Friends,

It has been a glorious holiday weekend. My Mom, Dad, Sister, and Cousin came to Peoria for a visit on Friday through Sunday. Along with great company, they brought me lawn furniture! Two years of cookouts and having friends over for dinner, and I just now have the proper set-up in my back yard. The weather has been gorgeous and a perfect chance to break in the new addition to the yard. Saturday's dinner outside with friends and family was the highlight of the weekend!

Sunday I had a blast playing tennis with Becky. I recalled not only how much I love the game but also why I'm soo poor at it. Luckily it was about having fun...and not the skill. Hopefully this summer will allow for more time on the courts.

Today I ran in a road race with proceeds supporting our local troops overseas. Besides being a great race, I was glad to do something to make the holiday more meaningful. I passed through the cemetery and caught this week's photo. May we all be thankful for the sacrifice of those who have served for our country.

Have a fantastic week. Enjoy long dinners with friends and family!

Jada
