In Memory of POW/MIA
The White Table
This Morning Tiana sang with a few of her choir members at a Memorial Day ceremony at the local cemetery. For many years I've wanted to go to a service, but only now did it. It was very touching and I'm not ashamed to say I shed some tears. Too often we take our freedom for granted. The freedom we have to criticize our government came at the expense of men. Men who believe enough in a cause to put their life on the line. Today our servicemen and women are fighting in battles that we're often very critical of, but because they are willing to fight, we sleep well at night. If they are needed on our shores, they will be here. We must be grateful. We must support them and we must support the families who have paid the greatest price.
Thank you!
On a lighter note, it's a beautiful day with some sun breaks, no rain and a bit of warmth. I finished my homework (although there is always fine-tuning I could do!) and the day isn't over! Kent and I shared a salted caramel chocolate cupcake at Pinkabella Cupcakes! YUMMY!!!
We did a bit of shopping and I am SOOO happy!! I found 2 skirts that are so super comfy and so what I've been looking for! They fit, the price was beyond right and it makes me want to do a happy dance! Like truly! I want to dance!!
Happy Summer's-almost-here-it's-the-beginning-of grilling-season-Day to you!!
