This Memorial Day

Well, it's Memorial Day and soon I will be on my way to my nephews new house to kick-off of the start of the bbq season! I already made a delicious Pistachio Cream Cheese tort to take with me. It's the one that my mother used to make all the time. Yummy! She'd be so proud of me! Everyone is going to be there except for my dear husband who will working out of town. Don't worry Scott....I'll eat some for you. You can count on THAT! God I miss that man when he leaves me to go out of town. No one to kick in the middle of the night or to steal covers from. Oh well. I got Honey and Willie to sleep with me and you can bet that there will be a lot of kicking going on for they take up more room then you could imagine 2 dogs taking up! Now on to more serious business.....
Seeing as it is Memorial Day let's not forget to honor America Â’s fallen and recognize our veterans and those who continue to serve our country. The National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress, asks Americans wherever they are at 3 p.m., local time, on Memorial Day, May 30, 2005 to pause in an act of national unity (duration: one minute).The time 3 p.m. was chosen because it is the time when most Americans are enjoying their freedoms on the national holiday. The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events; rather it is an act of national unity in which all Americans, alone or with family and friends, honor those who died for our freedom. It will help to reclaim Memorial Day as the sacred and noble holiday it was meant to be. In this shared remembrance, we connect as Americans. I think that often the best way to honor them is to continue in our daily lives free and happy... Just take a moment to remember those whose sacrifice made all of that possible.
So at 3:00pm I know what I will be doing. Will you be doing the same?
Have a wonderful holiday everyone! Eat a lot of burgers, drink a lot of that cold refreshing sweet tea and don't forget to wear your red white and blues to show yourpatriotismm!

I'm with the "in" crowd now!

OK so now I am with the "in" crowd. I finally started a blog, but the thing is, what do I write? It's 2:30 in the morning and I am tired as hell. I have to get up by 9:00 to go back to work after 10 glorious days off! You know what? I think I'll start this tomorrow instead. I'm much too tired to think right now. Signing off.......
