The Weekend

How was yours?  Mine was was mostly uneventful as far as cookouts or what have you.  Plus, I haven't been feeling all that great, so I stuck around the house mostly.

I managed to miss a cousin's graduation party and I was supposed to drive the Mustang in a parade but it rained that morning.

I hung with my son's family for about an hour on Saturday.  On Sunday, I attended what's called a Throwback Reunion cookout.  A high school associate of mine started putting these together a few years ago.  It's kind of a homecoming get together, not limited to any graduating class or school.  Just a throwback to times past.

I saw a guy I went to DAY CARE with back in 1971 and we attended neighboring colleges in the late 80's (above) and my middle school crush from 1979 (below) *I think he's still fine and he's STILL with his high school sweetheart*.

It was great seeing some of these folks who I've not seen since I graduated high school (Class of '86) and some people I forgot about until I saw them.  It was nice getting together for a good reason and not a funeral.

Is there anything like this in your hometown?

Memorial day tributes to our Soldiers "2 Poems"

Link The day is about so much more than no work and BBQ.

I've had relatives who fought in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Shield, Desert Storm and one who has had assignments I may never know about.  For them and other servicemen and women, I'm grateful.
