I'll be spending a moment at the cemetery, I lost my wife, my best friend, the love of my life, ten years ago on Memorial Day to brain cancer. I usually plant flowers around her grave stone on or about that time depending on the weather. I give thanks for every second I was able to spend with her... but then I look around and see all the American Flags, knowing they acknowledge all those who had served our country and many had made the ultimate sacrifice keeping America free. I take a moment to give my respects and thank them. My wife told me shortly before she passed, When I pass, I want you to go outside and live life. I feel all those flags are saying the same thing... Thank you for sharing, so sorry for your loss! Puts things in perspective during these crazy days!

Going to my nephews graduation. Then hanging out with a couple veterans and remembering those who didn’t make it back. Maybe have a couple beers with them and cook some bratwurst’s on the grill.

Recovering from hernia surgery first off and going over to the cemetery in town to pay my respects to those who went on before and the service men and women. I wish I could go visit my parents graves but I'm not sure I could handle the driving that would require and the out of state trip. Enjoy your day and Stay Safe out there even if you don't want to and Thank a Veteran or current service person for their service ! Allan

My boss gave us Friday and Monday off... So a 4 day weekend for me. Been a while since I had that much time off. Pretty nice.
Plenty to do around the house... I did get the mowing done Wednesday, just in time for more rain. And I'm sure there will be something to do out at the ranch.
But right now it's an early Saturday morning and it isn't raining at the moment... So I believe the flintlock and I will head to the squirrel woods.
