Observation of life, parenting, being inlaws and now a new frontier...grandparenthood. Life never gets dull! There is always something new to learn!

Just a few words about this holiday and the men and women who died fighting for our freedom. Thanks to them we get a 3 day weekend to picnic, play, shop, chill, whatever. We get to do it without fear. We live in a country where we are free to celebrate...or not as we see fit. We live in a country where we can say what we want, complain about things and take part in the governmental process. Even though this election season seems to be the longest on record, we should thank God for the fact we have elections. Free elections. Elections where We The People get to cast a vote for the candidate of our choice. We get to do all this without fear. We, as a nation probably don't appreciate that fact very much, because most of us have never really lived in fear. Thanks in great part for those men and women we remember on Memorial Day. These brave people understood the value of service and the value of our freedom. They gave us the ultimate gift. They gave their lives for you and me. So before we get all excited about having a three day weekend, lets remember why. Thanks to all those who laid down their lives for their fellow man and to all those who serve today and have served in the past. Heros all. Thanks... God Bless you and God Bless America!
