It's Decoration Day

Happy Memorial day Weekend!

Out at the park enjoying the official kick-off to summer.

I am of course wearing jeans, long sleeves and a hoodie. It seems that every year the weather before the Memorial Day weekend is warm, sometimes even downright hot, but as the weekend approaches, so does the rain. Oh well. Enjoy it anyway.

We are listening to the live music and smoky smells of Westmont's, Red, White and Blue BBQ competition, (To be televised this year). Enjoying the day made possible by the sacrifices of so many men and women.

In case you didn't know this, Memorial Day started out as  Decoration Day. It originated after the Civil War to commemorate the soldiers who died. Eventually it became a time to honor all of those men and women who died while in the military service.

So, I wanted to take a minute to wish you all a great weekend and to salute the sacrifices of our men and women in the Armed Forces. And to tell their families "Thank you and God Bless".   I have a friend who lost a son in the service and I salute her and her family's sacrifices and all of the military and their families.

God Bless and Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone!
