A Day with Ryan and Tammy

We spent the day after Thanksgiving with Ryan (Richard's brother) and his wife Tammy. We had breakfast together at a little Mexican Restaurant in Deming, New Mexico. For me it was a little weird having chips and salsa at 9:00 in the morning, but Richard, Ryan, and Tammy ate them right up. Then we drove to Silver City and visited the Military Cemetery where Richard's Mom and Step-Father are. We left a Christmas wreath as a reminder of the love that we have for them.

There is something about a National Military Cemetery that truly makes one proud to be an American. All of those white headstones for those who have served our country - who have to maintain the freedoms that we enjoy. I am so thankful for those who have served, My Dad, Richard's Dad and Step- Dad, Ryan, Regan, Regina and many of my uncles. THANK YOU!

With Silver City being about 1000 miles from our house, we know that we won't get to the cemetery often so we are glad that even after the long drive to Deming, we went ahead and drove another 50 miles. Mom and Harold, we miss you! We Love You!



We then went to Old Town Silver City and walked up and down the Main Street. We watched a horse drawn wagon go up and down the street and when it came by one time Rachael and I jumped on. It was a fun little ride.

We ended our day back at Regan and Shyla's for Thanksgiving Dinner leftovers. Yummy sandwiches and pie for dinner. We had a another nice visit with Regan and Shyla.

Here is a picture of the three boys

( I just couldn't win with the pictures - Ryan has his eyes open, but his tongue out, then Ryan and Regan have their eyes closed. There is probably a friend out there who could teach him how to photo shop and get a good picture)

I love the pictures with the three brothers! I have too many pictures like that with the kids.
I ditto your gratitude for all those who have served our country to maintain our freedom. It sounds like you've got quite the family Miliary History.
Thanks for sharing!:)
