Wednesday November 11 2015 was Veteran’s Day. That day we honor our military. I sent my dad a card thanking him for his service. He was in the Navy during the Vietnam War. He liked it very much. No other sibling ever remembers to send dad something for this day. He served and should be honored for doing so. That is brave.

Thank you Dad!

On this day it is also a day off. We had much to do in our yard. Leaves! I hate leaves! I hate when they fall off the trees and I hate cleaning them up. But it has to be done because snow and leaves make a mess.

It took a long time to clean them up and we had to drive them to the compost place. Also this day the forecast looked gloomy. Rain and strong wind heading our way. Needed to get all the leaves done before then.

Jeff had a good idea. Put the tarp in the bed of the truck, fill it with leaves, and put another tarp over to haul. It worked so well! We only had to take three trips to the compost place. I am glad we are done with that.
