Monday is Memorial Day in the United States. It's the unofficial start to Summer; many people open their cottages and camp for the first time of the year, lots of yard work is done and the BBQ's are fired up. However, the real reason for Memorial Day is to stop and remember, and honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defending our country and others. So, while you are enjoying the day, be sure you take time to remember!

Happy Summer Mari!!
God bless you and yours this Memorial Day.
Perfect!
Here in the Uk today is a Bank Holiday but to be honest I have no idea why!
Have a great day!
Same to you, Mari. smiles
It will be a 'work around the house' day for us.
Happy Memorial Day to you!
I hope you had a nice day with your family, Mari.
An important day for all of us....
We remembered, both in church yesterday and as a family today. Plus we had a cookout and lots of scrumptious sides, and a birthday party for Erica. It was a wonderful day and I'm grateful to all those who died for our freedoms. God bless America. xoxo
I heard Michael Savage on the radio call out to us Americans who like to pray to make sure we say prayers for families of fallen soldiers. If we've not lost anyone in war, we don't know their pain but we can pray just the same. I thought that was a good word.
Wow, now that is what I call a greenhouse!! I always get choked up on this special weekend. I love this time of year, thanks for sharing!!
Have a wonderful summer...
Hugs, Roxy
