I remember my parents. I wouldn't be here without them. One of my favorite pictures of Dad is of him in his Army uniform.
A BIG THANK YOU to all who are serving and have served in our armed services.
I'm just your imagination

We all owe a debt of gratitude both to previous generations, and those who have served and are currently serving in the military.
And as it is also graduation time, let us remember teachers who helped us and others along the way.

Morning everyone! How about some fruit salad this morning and muffins. Hey Orc, are you allowed to make coffee? Or should I do it?
RIP Lady, Thursday's won't be the same without you to cuddle with by the fire
One rescued Tabby home!
I hope you didn't drink Orc's coffee! It makes hair grow on your chest!
I had a bagel, but the fruit salad sounds good!
I'm just your imagination
Fruit salad and muffins sound just the thing!!!
Just got back from putting flowers out at the National Cemetery here for Dad. The place sure looks nice with all the flags out. Just wish none of our loved ones had to be there.
Sending positive thoughts for all the HS and College grads too. They face lots of challenges that I never had to when I was their age.

Goodness, my grandmother used to call it Decoration Day. I was just thinking about this yesterday at work. Everyone was buzzing at lunch about traveling or doing house work (painting, cleaning, repairing, that sort of thing) because of the 3-day weekend. No mention of putting out a flag or going to a parade. I did my graduate nursing clinical rotations at the V.A. and I got way more out of it than I ever put in. It was a privilege to be a student with the veterans there.
On a completely different note - It has been a lovely, sunny, 75-degree day in Chicago today - could I please have iced tea?
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

Anybody able to explain why it was called Decoration Day????
Abrupt and Abrasive.
Why not just explain the reason instead of trolling?Originally Posted by Edwina's Secretary
I have no idea and would like to know.
If I had to guess it would have to do with Decorating our Veterans with medals they earned.

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.
I'm just your imagination
Happy Memorial Day, everyone.
(gini, where ARE your socks?)
Just would like a cherry limeade to kick of the summer season.
