MARVELOUS MAY....Day 31

 

It’s 3:30am.  

I’m awake thinking of all I need to do today.  First I need breakfast then at 10:00am pick up the cupcakes for the Amvets luncheon. Next I need to deliver said cupcakes. I’ll be reading my poem at the services; then take photos of the services. Busy yes busy. 

On Memorial Day I need a few moments of silence to pay honor and tribute to all who died while still in uniform; I then say a silent prayer to family members, friends and acquaintances who served in the military and have passed away.  I drink a toast to the first group then have a second toast for the next group.  

The first piece seemed appropriate and it just flowed quickly. As for the UK word challenge piece it says it all. As a kid I love popsicles and I still do. Really doesn’t matter the flavor but let’s say cherry, lime, grape, root beer, then orange and yes the banana flavored.  

I still buy them once in a while.  But these days I enjoy the Italian ice.  

It’s time for me to get a few more hours sleep. 

Please take a moment of silence for those who perished on the field of battle.  If possible attend a parade, Memorial Day service or flag raising.  

It’s the last day of May today. 

Until tomorrow and next month....a new week begins today; and as always Stay Safe.

              END of WEEKEND 

Sunday usually means another 

    weekend ends....not this week

Tomorrow is a holiday....it’s Memorial 

      Day

The day we pay our   

  respects....honoring those

  who made the ultimate sacrifice 

Upon foreign soil they perished....giving 

   their all for freedom

A grateful nation pays honor....with 

moments of silence....a twenty-one 

  gun volley....and the haunting sound of 

    TAPS 

To those who never made it out of 

   uniform

               SUMMER TREAT 

On a hot summer day an ice lolly

   hits the spot

My favorite popsicle flavor cherry

  followed by lime

Although I’d never pass up grape or

  orange

Let’s just say I enjoy ice pops
