Christine, ND

Well, since the entry about Rachel came from Mapleton, ND, I thought it only fair that this entry come from Christine (look that huge city up in your Rand McNally Atlas (or smart phone for those more technologically advanced).

Saturday we spent recuperating from Rachel's party and then did some stuff around Fargo.  Went out to Holy Cross Cemetery and worked on the Ed's gravesite and Vi's Mother and Father's site.  Planted some flowers and Ryan and I cleaned up the landscaping while Vi and Michelle planted the flowers. Good memories of the family and the site looked pretty for Memorial Day. 

In the afternoon, Vi, Adrian and I went out to Ken and Melanie's to hang the quilt on the side of the house.  Took along all the tools we needed as well as the materials and we hung it on the side of the porch so everyone could get a good look at it.  Came back to town and Vi and Michelle got ready for the graduation while Adrian and I took the boys back out to the house to await everyone's arrival for the party.

Great turnout and they had decorated the tent, porch, house and everything that had a flat surface with pictures, memorabilia, sports awards, etc.  You can imagine with Connor and Carley being twins and active in school and sports, there was plenty of raw material to choose from.  Although there was a lot of family that had been at Rachel's party, it was a different circle of friends because of the different towns and schools.  It was a lot of fun and the rain held off, so it just a cool, cloudy day with a few sprinkles later in the evening.  Plenty of fun prepared by K&K Katering (two good friends of Melanie's (Kathy and Kathy)).  There was a constant turnover  as people were going to various parties around the area, so there was always a goodly number of people there, but still we had an opportunity to meet and greet. 

Adrian and I left early (10:30 p.m.) with Ryan and Colin and Vi and Michelle stayed until after midnight.  Slept in this morning and almost missed getting up for the Memorial Day services; however, when we got to Holy Cross, the service had been cancelled because of the rain which is still coming down. 

Not sure what our plans are today - have to wait and see what develops.
