Such a gentle breeze, wind chimes-all is quiet after our traditional Village Memorial Day parade,that goes right by my front yard. We join in the end of the parade & go to the cemetery for speeches, a fly over,& a 4-gun salute.Then a short walk away at the fire house, there is coffee, ice cream, hot dogs. Wonderful community event.#MemorialDay #remembrance #porchlife
Time for a #reread! And time for my all-time favorite beer, only available in Wisconsin, but brought to us by awesome friends. 🍺 Cheers to those who have laid down their lives for our freedom. We appreciate you beyond comprehension. #MemorialDay 🇺🇸
Such a lovely tribute to the tomb of the unknown soldier. Timely for Memorial Day this month. #childrensbook
pickAn amazing picture book history of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and tribute to those who guard it. Highly recommend a read before a visit to Arlington with kids.
pickBeautifully illustrated and well researched historic fiction #picturebook retelling the events of 1 of the 1st memorial day celebrations in the U.S. after the Civil War. Includes background. information that guided the research, a bibliography, web links and a timeline. Great for leading up to the holiday weekend or as an example of how children can volunteer in service to their community. #everybodybook #weneeddiversebooks

I spent an absolutely perfect ladies day at a Spa in Homer today. Bonus part was just hanging out in the sun room to read some of this fine book! #homerak #kachemakbay #memorialday

I‘ve posted this book before & posted it for Memorial Day too but I bought it after my first visit to Pearl Harbor & the Arizona Memorial right after I moved to Hawaii & it has always stuck in my mind. Here‘s to remembering & honoring all our service people, especially the ones who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
