We celebrated it with a bike ride. Fun in the sun (with SPF 45, of course), a grueling, challenging hill climb and some great scenery along the way. To me, the sight of this country barn was a reminder of what Memorial Day is about.
So, here is a prayer of thanks for the plethora of men and women who have so selflessly given up their lives so I may enjoy mine . . . freedom, bike rid, BBQ and all.
I'm a Southerner by birth, as is my husband. We've recently relocated back South of the Mason-Dixon line after an eight year stint in the Philadelphia suburbs. Along for the ride is Ginger, our cat.
While making our new house a home, every member of our small family is currently in the adjustment process . . . Getting to know our new neighbors (this includes two, four, six, eight and no - legged creatures), where crucial things (grocery store, Target, gym) are located, checking out the local sights and just settling into a new lifestyle here on the water!
