Our hero and his medals
Sunday morning we all got up early and packed the dogs in the van and headed for WV. Mamaw and Papaw had no clue we were coming. Just down the hill from our house we saved a turtle from certain death. "Junior" made his way to WV and back to the garden in OH.
Ella just could not figure out what that was crawling around in the van. Seau could have cared less. Good thing the turtle has a hard shell... We wanted to surprise Mamaw and Papaw with Papaw's medals. And that is exactly what we did. We had then wrapped in Mark's quilt. Think I saw a little glint of a tear in his eyes...and I know for a fact that Mamaw was touched.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU CHECK OUT THE VIDEO EXPLANATION OF EACH OF THE MEDALS FROM THE HERO THAT EARNED THEM. We had hamburgers off the grill with Tyler and Sabrina. It was fun to catch up on what they have been doing since they got married last summer.
Every time we go home, Papaw needs a haircut. I am the only one that he lets cut his hair. But this time I taught Mamaw how to do it. She did a great job but the clippers got too heavy for her before she was finished, so I had to finish the haircut. Tyler decided that he needed one also. I have never cut Tyler's hair but he watched me cut Papaw's and decided that I knew what I was doing. I thought that my kids had tons of hair...oh my goodness, we could have made a pillow for Michael with all the hair when we cleaned up. On our way out of town we stopped at Baskin-Robbins for some of our favorite ice cream...Cassie and Trevor...eat your hearts out...I had two scoops of peanut butter and chocolate with tons of big chunks of peanut butter.
