Decoration Day

My mother called today Decoration Day. It is for remembering veterans  but we would go to the cemetery to plant flowers on the graves of our family.

Skipped the parade because it was  so delicious to sleep in.

Heard the planes go by that signaled they had arrived at Oakwood cemetery.Saluted mentally!

Thanks that many gave their all so all could be free.

Searching for Hubby’s glasses. Found them! Downstairs.

Reading a book recommended by a member of my reading club.

Nice Sunday except for tummy miseries when I drank a bottle of marked down Bolthouse.

Steaks on the grill today with pasta salad and a tossed salad. I’m having a baked potato.

Next week will will be last songs of the year and the last song directed by Ralph and Cheryl. I’m predicting tears but grateful for the melodies of memories that linger in my mind.

Finding just the right study to share at the tea!

Decorate you life today with togetherness, gratitude and joy!
