Remembering

What do you do when you don't have any roots where you are living on Memorial Day? We were excited to see that our village had a small parade in honor of the soldiers that have died. We went to that and felt it was a moving experience. Along with honoring the soldier, I had my grandparents and other family in my thoughts. We had a neat day that really had the spirit of remembering in it.


We went for a walk through a nature preserve as well.  These folks are my joy.  I sure love them, even if they are a bit crazy.  I loved that they wore matching shirts, even Rebecca's is a super-hero (Word Girl).


Here we are watching for the parade.  It almost looks as though the children are saluting the soldiers; however, it is just the sun in our eyes.

We are thankful to all those who have paved the way to helping us have the life and freedom we enjoy.  We truly are bless.
