MARVELOUS MAY....Day 27

 

Yeah an extra hour before I woke up; it’s 4:00am. 
Yesterday indeed a busy day. Like I said in part of yesterday’s blog, I had lots to do. Finally finished up around eleven. Then it was lunch and texting with people about things.  My garbage got picked up around noon. Earlier than in weeks past.  I think it’s to confuse me or perhaps it’s there isn’t as many bins to pick up with the snowbirds gone. 
Today I visit my husband. He likes late morning visits for some strange reason. I like visits around 1-1:30 time.  Seems traffic better then for some reason. 
I’m thinking ahead to Memorial Day.  Last year with lockdown we did not hold Memorial Day services at the Amvets or any other Veteran’s organization.  I did compose two different pieces to read. This year I’m skipping writing something new and will read the one I never read last year. 
I wrote one piece on not telling me Happy Memorial Day.  What is happy about it?  It’s a day of solemn remembrance and one to be paying honor to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.  
Yesterday the past President of the auxiliary at my Amvets had an interesting Facebook post. It was words on a headstone. It gave the difference between Armed Forces Day, Veterans Day and Memorial Day.  
It read:
  ARMED FORCES DAY 
     for those still in uniform

  VETERANS DAY
     for those who hung up their 
        uniform 

MEMORIAL DAY
   for those who never made it out of 
        their uniform ———————————————————-
Some people need to be reminded of the difference from time to time. 
It’s Thursday and as I call it Friday Eve. 
Until tomorrow....have a great day and until tomorrow Stay Safe.

              DAILY THOUGHTS

 Awaken by birds tweeting
 and rumbling of the recycling truck
Out to the store before eight and home by half past the hour
All errands completed by eleven
🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵

                   SAME SPELLING 
The bonnet covers my car’s motor
A bonnet covers my head
I put my groceries in the boot of the car 
And wear boots upon my feet
Funny how words in different countries 
spelled and pronounced the same
Have different meanings

   WACKY HOLIDAYS MAY 26th
(National Blueberry Cheesecake Day; 
  National Chardonnay Day; National 
   Lindy Hop Day and National Paper 
   Airplane Day)

Made a paper airplane from junk mail
While having coffee and blueberry 
     cheesecake
At least I’m creative....it flew through the room then crashed near the trash basket
Plan to have Chardonnay while I
   research the Lindy Hop
