Hi Everyone!
First off, Happy Memorial Day!
Today is the day that we remember those who have sacrificed much to protect our beautiful country-wether it be time, talent, or even their lives. The nurses, soldiers, and even families of those who serve give so much for us, I think they deserve at least one day to be remembered and thanked :)
This morning mama made some yummy pancakes with raspberries, blueberries, and white chocolate chips-red, white & blue, like the American flag! Then we all got dressed and headed into town for the parade. There were boy & girl scouts, the High school band, firemen, veterans from many different wars, and even a lady dressed in vintage 1900's clothes-floppy hat and all! (She was my favorite :P) The parade ended in the cemetery, where the boy scouts rose the flag and a priest said a prayer of thanksgiving for the service men & women. Afterwards, I went to the movies to see the new Avengers movie-Captain America was my favorite, and he was certainly dressed appropriately :) We went home and got in the pool for a swim, and my Daddy is cooking some ribs for dinner. I'm gonna go in the barn and get Casper ready for a ride tonight; He's been itching for a good walk. What did you do to celebrate today?
Lastly, I want to say thank you to all you readers and followers. While I've been having fun today, I started counting my blessings, and you are all among them. So thank you!
Also, if you know any service men or women, please give them a good "Thank You!" for me. Happy Memorial Day, and God Bless America!

Hi Penelope! It sounds like you had a fun day. My family didn't do a whole lot. It was too windy and cold to have a picnic. We stayed inside and played games instead.
