It’s 4:00am. I keep thinking about why people keep saying HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY. There is NOTHING to be happy about a day we honor men and women who died in the service of our country. What is happy about honoring military personnel who died in war? NOTHING!
Okay so I feel this way and it’s my opinion. But please think about what the day means. Naturally this will be my pet peeve until the holiday is over.
Today is actually the traditional Decoration Day. I remember that was what it was called when I was in school. May 30th the traditional day but changed around 1971 to Memorial Day and a three day holiday weekend.
Funny on the word CHEMIST. I’ve seen it used before in books I’ve read. Guess it could be chemist shop but when I think of chemist my mind imagines an individual mixing things up in test tubes and beakers. I look forward each day for the UK word challenge.
Today is Memorial Day Eve. Yesterday I presented poppy pins to a few individuals. Three were members of the Honor Guard at my Amvets. They think the pins will look good on the covers. I mentioned I hope to get the pins again next year. I’ve had a few inquire about where I found them. Of course it was a surprise I did find them.
Yesterday I had a nice long visit with my husband and see him again today. Unfortunately I won’t be able to see him tomorrow. One reason the appointments are all taken and second I’ll be busy with Memorial Day activities. I had hoped to visit after services to see him but no appointments for visiting available I was told. I’ll see him Tuesday again.
Yesterday and today again I’ve posted one of my Memorial Day poems from years past. I’ll be posting the one I will read on Memorial Day in tomorrow’s posting on Facebook.
It’s Sunday.
Until tomorrow....enjoy your day and as always Stay Safe.

DAILY THOUGHT
I saw a Happy Memorial Day greeting
It irritates me....nothing happy about the day
Some need to remember what the day
is all about
📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎📎
DRUG STORE BROWSING
Stopping at the chemist for a few items
Vitamins, toothpaste, hair conditioner
Walking around the place to see what
else I need
Hmmm I see disposal diapers ...don’t need them
Nor do I need the condoms

WACKY HOLIDAYS MAY 29th
(National Coq au Vin Day; National
Paper Clip Day; National Learn to
Swim Day and Mudbug Madness Day)
Chuckling over today’s wacky holidays none interest me....except one
Sure I would not want to attend the Mudbug Madness event
as I wouldn’t want to eat a Mudbug
Now perhaps I’d enjoy a festival celebrating coq au vin but that is iffy m
too
I know how to swim....that is out
But....the paper clip
Hurray for them... I use one as a money clip
