Enjoying and remembering. I know that we celebrate the sacrifices of our fallen or fallen family members, but Memorial Day was originally intended to honor the Civil War dead. Just some trivia. I thank our Veterans and fallen every day for the sacrifice that enables me to play at my hobbies this weekend. 
so lucky

We'll be holding on to our hats this weekend. Hurricane-strength winds are predicted. And hail and thunderstorms. And tornados.
I'm glad I'm not participating in the 100-mile yard sale that is a Memorial Day event here.

Thank you to all veterans and their families, I am very appreciative and grateful for your service.
My dad was a WWII vet also. Remembering him...
No 3 day weekend for me. Working a half day Monday. With this heat there are new plantings that will be too stressed if I don't water. But the rest of the day will be for enjoying.
Hey Seed, you and your three amigos? Sounds like a country song.

I'm still here, so far. Third round of storms due to move through in a couple hours. Or is it the fourth round?
Oh, on the topic of WWII veterans, for you who have cable or dish tv, there is going to be a program on "The Greatest Generation" on Sunday night. I think on CNN. Or maybe MSNBC. Tom Brokaw (sp?) is the host. It's probably a rerun, but still relevant.

My Daddy was a WW2 veteran. He joined the Navy before the war, signed on for 8 years and was still in the Navy when the war ended.
A bit of trivia; they were forbidden to tell their families where they were-loose lips sink ships. My daddy wanted to let his Mother know that he was ok and where he was, so he sent her a man's neck tie with a hula girl on it. When she opened it, her sister crowed "I know where JB is! He's in Hawaii!!"
