Memorial Day - 2009

A pretty quiet one for us this year, but then again, most of them are pretty quiet for us. We're usually lined up to head out for a summer trip by now but due to complications with school, those plans have been put on hold. Looking to get out by the end of June but the next few days will firm that up. Meanwhile, we still stuck close to home, catching up on chores and catching a movie and waiting for the girls as they went to and from friends' houses.

Weather couldn't've been better. Warm and sunny with some showers in the late afternoon. Feels hot to us now but in a few weeks we'll be longing for the relative coolness of these days.

We didn't make it to the cemetery this year but we still thought about them. I guess that doesn't count, you have to make the time to get out there and put some flowers down, because anyone can say they remember someone but you really ought to do something about it. Well, we didn't, the first time in a long time, if ever. I'm sure they'll understand. We did put out the flag as a way to remember and thank our troops. We couldn't do the things we do without them and their families putting themselves on the line. So a hearty thanks to them.

So another Memorial Day is behind us. Ahead? Nothin' but summer. Let it begin.
