Memorial Day

Well today has been a good day. I needed the rest and relaxation. Kido and I layed around watching tv and eating junk all day. We did have fun putting on bathing suits and washing the dogs. Don't know if the dogs liked it or not lol.

Also did some thinking about what Memorial Day means and thinking of my Grandfather who was a POW in WWII in Romania and lived to tell about it. Thinking of my other Grandfather who is still living that never went over seas in WWII but was still in the millitary, who is still living in his body even though he can not see or hear or anything after having a stroke last year. I really haven't talked about it much with my friends on here but something about it today has really been on my mind. Both of these men were awsome men who lived full lives and worked hard for the freedom we have today. I know Memorial Day is suppose to be about those that died in service but it made me think of all service men kind of like Veterian's Day does. Thinking of this didn't make it a bad day actually it made it a good one a warm fuzzy feeling kind of day.

Hope others had a great day.

Momo, I think the dog washing sounds like a hoot. I good time was had by all. When I was a kid I can remember Memorial Day being a lot of fun. We would walk to the parade in our small town and then stop and get an ice cream cone.(That was a big deal then) Then we would walk back to grandma's house and the Iris and Pansy's would be in bloom at that time. That picture in my mind gives me a warm fuzzy too.

I can remember riding my bike up to the town square as a kid at my grandparents to get "custard" It was sooooooo good on a hot day.
