Honestly, I don't think our town has parades any more (I'm sure budget cuts). It is good though to recognize those that gave their lives for our country and those still serving in the military. We tried to go and see hubby's parents' gravesite, they are buried at a military cemetery here, on Sunday. I like to see the graves all decorated with an American flag (wreaths at Christmas), but we couldnt' get into the cemetery because we came the same time as the ceremony honoring Memorial Day and it was packed, no parking. I thought that was neat that there were so many people out there to honor those who had given the ultimate sacrifice.<br /><br />Great picture of your dad and what a neat idea to get the bricks to remember your family's service for our country. <br /><br />What cute baby robins! <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-19052745648447920162014-05-27T19:28:07.974-04:002014-05-27T19:28:07.974-04:00PS.

Yet we see quite a few young men in fatigues and every time I see a student in the military SUV my heart hurts.MunirGhiasuddinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232362559666320301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-81506535475515435722014-05-27T18:45:28.526-04:002014-05-27T18:45:28.526-04:00What an absolutely perfect day of celebrating and ...What an absolutely perfect day of celebrating and what a FULL weekend.

We were lazy and didn't do much this year on Memorial weekend - I love your parade! Our little town also has a garden devoted to our servicemen - my nephew has his own brick there, and there was a lovely ceremony a few years ago when the garden was dedicated. We've also had some tiny squatters in our ficus tree on the porch: a tiny nest with 2 hummingbird babies in it! I just checked it this morning and I think they've flown away. They were getting awfully crowded in there! It's been fun to watch them, but the parents were making an awful mess on our window glass and my husband could barely contain himself! Plus, our house will be painted soon, so I'm glad they didn't have to be disturbed by that. So fun to watch them though. We discovered another nest (abandoned) that we must have not noticed when it was actively filled. Apparently, that tree is considered a safe zone by the hummingbirds!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-37354137691291235092014-05-27T09:40:49.219-04:002014-05-27T09:40:49.219-04:00I'm always in awe of how you celebrate every e...I'm always in awe of how you celebrate every event to the Max. You are really an inspiration. <br /><br />I can see why this means so much to you to remember those who have served by reading the names of your family members on those bricks. It must make you sad at the same time. <br /><br />I haven't had a roasted marshmallow in years. It's time. I just bought a small new BarBQue grill. That might be the first thing I'll try to see if it's hot enough to grill.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JB<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-18649039985809068912014-05-27T08:11:22.183-04:002014-05-27T08:11:22.183-04:00Hello, dear YaYa! Thank you for showing pictures ...Hello, dear YaYa! Thank you for showing pictures of your Memorial Day activities. I shudder to think how many Americans enjoy having the day off, attending cookouts and pool parties but forget the real meaning and purpose of the holiday and the heroes it was intended to honor. I'm very happy it didn't rain on your parade and I wish to thank the members of your family who served and all the men and women of our nations Armed Services who sacrificed so that we might all enjoy the freedom we have today.<br /><br />That's a terrific image of your father. He was indeed a handsome man! I am also delighted to see the robin hatchlings. I'm glad you got that excellent shot of them before they sprout wings and fly away. It's also nice of you to post the pic of Phil and the girls along with Eddy who appears to be doing his usual thing - milling around looking for dropped goodies in the grass.<br /><br />I also want to tell you how much I appreciate the fact that you stayed up late to comment on my blog. I know you must have been tired and sleepy. That was a marvelous gesture of friendship and I know you warmed Chi Chi's heart with your generous remarks. <br /><br />Good news on the Margaret Schneider front. She is doing better and apparently does not have pneumonia. There is much for which we can all be thankful this day. Have a week, dear friend YaYa!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-2760448569740808602014-05-26T23:54:57.198-04:002014-05-26T23:54:57.198-04:00What a delightful and typical Memorial Day.
