As I sit here thinking of this weekend, I can't help but think of the many servicemen and women who are fighting for our country this very minute. I am fortunate to come from a military/patriotic family. My grandfather fought in WWII at which time my grandmother was a Rosie the Riveter. My dad and uncles served in the military and my brother and son currently serve in the Army National Guard. Jason has been on 3 tours to Afghanistan and Iraq and James will be going on his 2nd tour to Afghanistan in February. I am proud to be an American!!!
I remember a television commercial from shortly after 9/11 that said..."they thought it would change our country...and it did" and goes from showing a street of row homes to each home with an American flag hanging from it.
This Memorial Day weekend, for the 2nd year in a row, I will be spending at Bayou Country Superfest with Amanda, her BFF Arielle and Arielle's mom, Jena. Jena's birthday is June 3rd and mine is June 4th, so we will be celebrating a little early this year.
Have a safe and happy weekend.
