5.31.09 Sunday

today is the "traditional" Memorial day--way back from when we celebrated holidays on the day they actually fell on the calendar---not on Friday or Monday so we could have a 3 day weekend

We got to spend part of the evening with Mr S's sister Lois, her hubby Mark, and their delightful grandson Micah. He just turned 6. When we got there Mark and Micah were working on the fort they are building. We also had a impromptu cookout. What fun we had talking, visiting and playing.... what fun it is to be around Micah and have him really talk to us. This POTD was taken as were were leaving and Lois was pulling Micah's ear to try to get him to stand still (LOL)

These cartoons are some of the ones that were sent to me by my scrappy friend, Denise. They soooo speak to the real meaning of Memorial Day


Today is Memorial Day. The POTD will be of my daddy in his uniform

I am so in awe of all the men and women now and in the past that have served our country and preserve our freedom.

this is our nephew Dan, of whom we are so proud

Soldiers past and present---defending our freedom
