Happy Memorial Day

 "When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today"
- The Kohima Epitaph

For all our brothers and sisters in arms, be safe, be loved, be courageous, for you will never be forgotten.  Your sacrifice allows the rest of us to enjoy our holiday weekend, spent with friends and family without worry.

So what do those sacrifices buy? The opportunity for my daughter to enjoy her first ice-cream cone on her first Memorial Day holiday...

I personally think that is the greatest gift I could be afforded at this point in my life...enjoying these moments are what makes life worth living. I mean seriously, look at this face?

The ice-cream at Gammy & Papa's was definitely the highlight of the afternoon. We hit the kiddie pool in the afternoon to try and beat the oppressive heat to little avail. After a late afternoon nap the sun had finally made it's way behind the big maple tree in the yard and made the deck a great place to hang.  Like we said, the ice-cream made the day!

Thanks for a great afternoon Gammy & Papa and Happy Memorial Day to one and all!
