Memorial Day

Memorial Day:
   Today is Memorial Day! We have a long line of men who served our country in our family! I am proud to say that each and everyone of them did so, including my husband, Mike who spent 20 years in the Air Force !!  I am also happy to say that each one of them made it back from their service in a war, with no injuries. There we're many who did not, they were injured very badly or many gave up their lives so that we could remain free. We are a free country because of those Brave Men and Women, who gave their lives for us. Whether you agree with war or not, that right was guaranteed for you by their service. If they had not done so this country would be under the rule of a Queen, or a Dictatorship. You wouldn't have the freedom to disagree with the idea or the concept of war. So give thanks and honor to our armed forces that you have the right to disagree with war.  It is inconceivable to me that anyone would refuse to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, or to rise and put their hand over your heart when the National Anthem is played etc... but it is their right, to do so because of the brave men and women who fought for that right for them!  Kind of an oxymoron if you ask me, don't you agree? There are many countries who's men and women have died  for them, and they still don't have that right to exercise their opinion in speech. They are told what to think and do! I am thankful that our country is not one of them! People would not have the freedom of speech if not for our brave servicemen and women. So as for my family, we honor them and I hope that all of you do too! We are PROUD of THEM and very GRATEFUL to THEM. THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR ARMED FORCES!!!! You are all HERO'S of the GREATEST CALIBER!!!!!!   

Yesterday:
   Not much was accomplished yesterday by me. I did dishes, and made potato salad for today to have with our meal. I am grilling a steak for Mike and I, and making a nice salad, with lettuce and other vegetables in it this evening.  So we'll be having the potato salad or a baked potato, not sure if  I want to have potato salad with a nice steak. We'll have to see what kind of mood I am in when I get the steak on. May save the potato salad for hot dogs or burgers tomorrow.

Fiver:
   I did not do much yesterday, but Mike and Jamie washed the fiver. There are a few places that have those annoying black streaks that Mike wants to go back over, but the worst of it is done. Between them they got it done without too much trouble, or hurting their backs too bad. Once taking care of the black streaks is done, it will be my turn to wash the windows. Goody, goody! Haha! I hate washing any windows whether in the house or the fiver!

Poison Ivy:
   The poison ivy is bearable now, and is starting to dry up, thanks to the prednasone I have been taking. The itch is now at a minimum too, thanks to the Ivarest I have been using.  I hope it is all cleared up by the wedding next weekend, otherwise I will look really blotchy fo it.

Foot Blurb: 
   This is my next to the last foot blurb! I go to the doctor next Thursday, and I don't foresee   any complications. So I will hopefully be doing one last  blurb next week, and then I won't be mentioning it, after I report what he has to say! Aren't you glad? I know I am, lol! It feels like it has been a year that I have been talking about this instead of the end of March. For me the subject is exhausted, and I just want to forget about it, and I'm sure you have heard more than you ever wanted to know about it! LOL! So it will be quite a while before I mention having the other foot done, years maybe!!!!!! I am ready to get busy and start walking the dogs again!

Bouquet:
   I had to quit working on the bouquet because of the poison ivy blisters on my fingers. So now that they are dried up I should be able to finish it up by mid week. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, the wedding is on Friday. Lol!  So speaking of that, I better go get busy on it!   I'll be back to talk too ya soon, so see ya's next time...
