Thursday #317 - Remember!

Being a toll and trolling are different. One catches fish and the other scares the fish.

I just need some jalapeneos for my martini.

Decoration Day was a name prevalent in the South in the years after the Civil War. Widows, children and survivors would go to decorate the graves of those killed in the war, hence the name "Decoration" Day. It was known as Memorial Day in the North, and was expanded to be a day of remembrance for not only the war dead, but all our forebears and loved ones.

I went with Dad on Friday, and we planted flowers at my mother's grave, my brother and sister who died as infants, my grandparents and his grandparents (my great-grands), and several beloved (great) aunts and uncles.

I to can't say enough and feel much gratitude for our past and present
military service men and woman.
I have a metal American flag up year round in the front of my house.
Up goes the real flag for this weekend.
Thanks for the explanation of Decoration Day.

Will be BBQ hot-dogs and fruit salad sounds great.

We owe so much to so many for sacrificing their lives for our freedom.

May we always be grateful and never, ever forget!

Richard's Bloody Marys.............hmmm, if you want to keep your socks on, then don't have one - but they sure are good.

Just would like a cherry limeade to kick of the summer season.
