Happy Memorial Day
As long as I can remember on Memorial Day Mom and I went with Grandma and put flowers on many graves.
Grandma has alzheimer’s now and I am just realizing how very thoughtful that was of her, not to just do it, but to take Mom and I with her every year.
Last night Big Ran and I put flowers on Dad’s grave, it looks very nice.
Mom had already put a flower decorated lawnmower on it.
But next year, I am going to go with Mom and take one, two, or all of my kids with us, and start a new tradition.
With all of that said, I would like to thank all the serving military and their families for their service and of course, today to remember all of those who served our country and are no longer with us and their families.
I hope everyone is flying their American flag high and proud today!!
God Bless America!!

Salute to Veterans
It’s Veterans Day!
This is a picture of my Dad in his navy gear.
My husband is in the U. S. Army Reserve. He has been enlisted
for 30 years. I am very proud of him!
This is a picture of my husband with the
Commanding General of the U. S. Army Reserve. My husband is on the right. From
November 2007 to November 2008, he was stationed in Iraq, needless to say it was
a very, very long year for both of us.
My Dad was also a Veteran. He was in
the U. S. Navy. He served in Cuba.
There are so many things I could write
about him, but for now I will just say he was an AMAZING AND LOVING MAN.
Thank you to all Veterans!!!

Thank you to all the service men and women!
That includes you Big Ran, my hero.
