Memorial Day weekend

We're home from a really good Memorial Day weekend in Kentucky. It was very low-key, with lots of reading and knitting. But the company was great and that always makes for a good time.

On the way home today, we drove through some really brief (maybe 5 swipes of the windshield wipers), really hard rain showers. But that was all - until we got to Monteagle. Then, of course, there was hard rain all the way down the mountain. And the traffic got heavier as the afternoon got later and we got closer to home. No problems, though. As much as we love to travel, it's always good to get home, too.

This is considered the beginning of the summer holiday season. But we need to remember that it is primarily to honor those men and women who have served and are serving in our armed forces. They are putting their lives on the line for us, and we need to remember that every day.
