Thank You!

I want to start my blog today by remembering those who served our country and fought for it, it's because of these people that we have the freedoms that we do. I also sit here and think about my grampa, who served in the Navy in WWII. He's been gone for a while, but I still think of him often. There are people that I know that are still serving our country and it's for them that I offer up my prayers for safety and comfort when they need it, and my deep gratitude for all they give and have given. Even when our servicemen retire, their honor to our country will never be forgotten :)

Did I mention that it's cold right now? My toes are FREEZING!! lol, and yes, I DO have socks on! Of course, they're my Rusty Wallace socks, so, I guess they're just not as good as they used to be.....*snickers* oops, did I really say that?

Yesterday was fairly uneventful, well, ok, having a couple extra girls over here for Em's slumber party isn't exactly uneventful, and yes, I even survived it. Even though, for some strange reason our hotwater heater decided to kick a breaker (I checked it and it looked like it was on to me). Needless to say, there's double duty to do on the dirty dishes today...(wow, that was a good bit of illiteration there!!)

I can't wait until tomorrow, I love going to the parade in town, even if it's quite small, but to be able to hear our school's band play...that makes the parade twice as good!! I heard them practicing on Thursday, they sounded wonderful, I think my fave was the Marines Anthem. Sorry, I'm partial to the Marines, both of my brothers served as well as a few friends!! Did I mention that our school's band ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! Especially the trombone section, I guess that's why they go first in marching band, hehehehe. ( I will only offer a retraction if a bribe is included, lol)

Oh my, spring is lovely, but the fish flies are NOT!! There are literally clouds of them!! D, Christen and I took Abby for a walk, a long walk yesterday evening, I think I inhaled more of those stupid fish flies than one should really allow! No, I will not include that in my protein intake for the day either. Nasty. Not to mention knowing that they were getting stuck in my hair too....ugh! However, the walk was wonderful, I can't wait to start walking more. I really can't wait to start riding my bike!!! I'll have to sneak out with it though so that I don't have to putz with slower riding half adults....(kids with shorter legs than mine if that's possible, lol) Ok, no joke about the vertically challenged people!!!

Well, I think it's time I should end this and get some stuff done, yeah right, lol, y'all know me too well, I think it might be time to go shopping :) :)

Please take time to remember our servicemen.

Y'all have a great day and stay safe!
