Today is Memorial Day. This the day that we as Americans celebrate and honor those who serve to help us continue to live in a free society - those both living and dead. As a military family, having lived and visited in other countries, this holiday is one which we appreciate possibly more than many other Americans. We are so fortunate to have been born in this country of more than plenty and freedoms that most others in the world can only dream of. God has truly blessed us as a people and a country.
Americans celebrate this holiday in a variety of ways, but most often it is a day for family activities, BBQ's and picnics in addition to memorial services honoring the military. We started the day today in Cordele, with Joe running in the Kiwanis 8K run. He was pleased to receive a trophy for finishing second in his age group I might add. After having a late breakfast with Joe's sister, we headed home to hopefully miss all the later traffic, which fortunately we did. Now like so many others, we will cook hotdogs on the grill and eat watermelon we pur
chased on the way at a local farmers market.
