Memorial Day Work Project

For our Memorial Day Weekend work project we decided to see if we could find the time capsule that we buried in the year 2000 for our family reunion. We had placed an engraved rock with our last name and "Open 2010" on the top of the place we had buried it but because we had some fencing put on the property and the boys that installed the fence said they had ran into it and moved the box, it was not an easy project to find it. But after alot of proding and probing it was found and dug up.

But what we found was a box half filled with the stinkiest, dirty water...........ever smell a sewage plant?

Well we continued with our other project......

of cleaning up some dead trees that we had cut down. We are also landowners who are dealing with alot of beetle killed trees. Does anyone know someone high up in the Bureau of Land Management that actually cares and could do something for us in the western USA and save our forests? Good Grief!
See the time capsule in the back of the Ranger? Mikan and I got the fun job of seeing if anything could be salvaged. All the pictures were ruined but we were able to save the paper with writing on it. I don't know if anyone will be able to hold the paper long enough to read it again becasue of the stink but we did our best to save a ten year old memento for the families that had put something in the box for posterity sake.

The kids mostly played...they did help but you all know how work projects are.....

The guys do the most,

The little tykes think they are really helping.........

But the best part of any project is always the transportation.

Tait is getting to the age where he actually accomplishes something......

And in the end it is about being together and working...........

together as a family!!!!

Of course we could only have half of a good day......... But at least we didn't loose our power from this hail storm!!!!
