Memorial Day weekend is always the kick off to summer. Let us not forget the true meaning. It is a federal holiday to remember the men and women who died in the armed services defending our country. What a beautiful weekend it has been to honor those people. We have had three days of sunshine and warm temperatures. It was great weather for outdoor activities.
My husband and I had fun celebrating our son-in-laws graduation from OSU. We had lots of good food, fun outside, and good company. I also got to attend a party for some of my former students. It was fun to see them all grown up and I was very proud to hear about their academic achievements. They are off to college with scholarships.
Spent part of yesterday on the bike path in Yellow Springs. My husband and I did 20 miles and believe me I felt it. I came home and took a nap. It was a beautiful ride. The trees are all leafed out now and have created an umbrella affect over the paths. It is very pretty and scenic. We stopped off at a flower nursery along the way to rest and admire the beautiful flowers.
We saw some fireworks last night to kick of summer fun. We took Laney with us. I don't think she was interested and the big booms scared her.
It was eight years ago yesterday that my mother-in-law passed away. I thought of her yesterday as we were enjoying Laney. I always send her love to heaven for talking me into getting a dog. Laney has been a wonderful spoiled companion for my husband and I. She always reminds us that life can be lived simple. She doesn't complain, she is grateful for her food and treats, she loves greeting us every time we walk in the door, and she always protects us. She is the reason I started the blog, and she has given me eight years of unconditional love. Laney you are the best.
Life is beautiful with my four legged friend!!!
