Remember To Remember

Hello, my friends. I hope your week was cozy, productive, relaxing, and fun—or maybe all those things rolled into one. It was quick here, that is certain! We spent a couple of days at the ocean and are now back at the house, where three little pups got all fresh and clean for the long weekend!

My favorite time to be on the beach is early morning. I love the quiet, calm, peaceful feeling of knowing that for that short time, I witness something that has been since the beginning and will continue long after I am gone. But I also love that the beach is empty when I am there. And when the hot sun appears, and the crowds begin to gather, I will be cozy in my condo, enjoying it from afar. 

Finally, Happy Memorial Day to all my U.S. friends. I hope your celebrations, whether big or small, complete with grand parades or cozy cookouts, outside with neighbors and friends, or inside with movies and family, are just what you plan on and more. And as I like to tell my family, let's remember to remember why we celebrate this day in May each year. We think of those men and women who gave their very lives for our freedom. Each generation has continued to honor the ones before. While it is easy to get caught up in the fun of summer beginning and hamburgers with potato salad, we owe it to those who lost loved ones and those who gave their lives, like my great-uncle Sam, to pause and be thankful for their sacrifice.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

Thanks for visiting.

I am always happy you do.
