Memorial Day

Every year there seems to be confusion about just what this holiday is all about.

Many businesses close, a number of people get the day off of work. We have picnics, parties, fireworks. Get drunk, open the pool. Light up the grill. For many it's the official start of summer.

Memorial Day is in honor of all of our troops that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. All of the sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands, and wives that didn't come home to their loved ones.

I can't imagine the pain of that loss.

Thanksgiving!

Someone thinks they're clever and put a chick peas cartoon on our fridge. (Why does fridge have a 'd', but refrigerator does not?) This is a testament to my observation skills (lack thereof). I have no idea how long this has been here, hah! But now I want more chick peas. If you missed my blog on chick peas you can read about them here.

Got my Thanksgiving decorating done, almost!
