Memorial Day

Thank you to all those (and their families) who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
And thank you to all those currently serving in our Armed Forces. May you complete your tours safely, and return whole to your loved ones.
My parent's always called it "Decoration Day", as we'd go to the cemetery in the morning and put flowers on the graves of our family members. I always helped Dad put up the flag in the morning, and take it down at dusk.

Lovely Fall Day.....<i><b>not!</i></b>

 Forty degrees and raining......and cloudy. Dog won't even go outside, and I can't blame her! Hope you're having a good week so ...
