Whirlwind Days

The last few days have been a whirlwind of performances. Friday was the Talent Show, Saturday was a choir performance, Monday was the school play, and Wednesday was a piano recital. Thank goodness we have a three day weekend coming up to recover!

No camping, no travel, no big plans... just relaxing and enjoying the day set aside to honor our servicemen and -women.

So far our weekend plans are pretty tame, compared to most Memorial Day celebrants. We're going to a Bar Mitvah on Saturday (one of the babies I nannied is all grown up now!), and then Saturday afternoon we've got the cousins coming over for dinner and a visit. We usually get together with our good friends on Memorial Day to do some R&D on Fourth of July drinks... so we'll probably set something up to do that important task. (They'll be red, white and blue, like our high-flying flag. If we discover something truly yummy, I'll try to post the recipe here!)

Stay safe-- be smart. Enjoy the weekend, but remember to pay attention to the reason we have the holiday set aside. And to all the brave men and women who have served our country -- and the families behind them --- thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
