Memorial Day

Categories
Holidays

Given the meaningful blog Fred wrote on Friday as to the history behind Memorial Day, I’m wondering how most of us spend Memorial Day. For my family, it’s always been about inviting some close friends and family over to, hopefully, enjoy the good weather and our pool. We always order too much food (so I don’t have to cook during the following week) and just enjoy our extra day off.

Happy Memorial Day Gotham! How are you celebrating?

Going to visit my mom who is 80 and in a wheelchair. Sorry to say the days of sharing a BBQ with the family are long gone. Moms siblings etc have all passed. Both of her brothers were in the Army and returned safely. Thank God! So off to the Bronx I go!!! I did get to see the Blue Angels yesterday! That was awesome!

Some of my husband's kids (all adults) are visiting, so we'll be spending the day with them.

After marching and baseballing, we went back to our house to BBQ with immediate family and a few friends.
