Memorial Day means different things to different folks. For some, it is an opportunity to remember those who have fought for the freedoms most of us take for granted. For others, it means celebrating those who are currently serving in the Armed Forces. Others use the day as a holiday from work...to work in the yard, on the pool, have cookouts, or go to the lake.
This memorial day meant a little of all of that to my family. My Pop Charlie is a Veteran of World War II, although now he fights the War against Alzheimer's. He doesn't remember those days, but we remember, and are thankful that men and women like my Pop Charlie fought bravely for those who couldn't fight for themselves. We did enjoy the day off work, sleeping late, and spending time with Andi and Jake who came to visit. Andi, Jake and I napped while Dad watched "The Longest Day," and mom went to the grocery store for cookout essentials.
Even though we did celebrate a typical Memorial Day, mostly we celebrated by making new memories.
"On James!"
Jake loves to ride in Paw Paw's wagon, but he would rather drive Paw Paw's truck!
"Women Drivers!"
