"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope". Jeremiah 29:11


Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble". Matthew 6:28b-34

Parades

This year Kelvin went with me to the Memorial Day parade in Avoca, our hometown. The man second to the right in the photo below is Kevin's second cousin, Shane Slayton.



No parade is complete without a band! Several kids we know are in the band, but I couldn't pick them out if I tried!

Our neighbor, John Walsh is our Steuben County Legislator. He restores lots of antique vehicles and always has something very cool and unusual to drive. This is a 1898 Conderman Electric, made in Hornellsville, NY.


My sisters-in-laws Jessica and Sharon took their girls in the parade. The signs says: Slayton's Country Girls of America.



Joanna and Alyssa resting after their hot ride in the truck.



The plaque reads: In memory of the men of this town who laid down their lives for their country during the War of the Rebellion 1861-1865

War of REBELLION?! My, I guess we know how Bath citizens viewed the Civil War!


The Dairy Parade was the following weekend. Kelvin and I met up with Erin & Jonathan to watch the parade. This was my favorite float...the cow jumped over the moon...!

Jonthan and Erin said we needed to find a RED tractor to get their picture taken with, so we trompt to the far side of the fairgrounds to find the Internationals!


Kelvin and I in front of a 4020, of course. (We have a 4020!)
Dad treated us all to chicken BBQ both weekends, which is a treat we look forward to each year. Poor Dad-it's starting to get quite expensive!
