Hoping the week is well and you all are ready for this weekend.
And do you know what weekend it is?
Yup, Memorial Day Weekend!
On Monday, May 27 this year, is actual memorial day, we all do our celebratings, picnicings and yard sellings over the weekend.
I know that I would be holding a yard sale Friday-Sunday (plus, working around regular work schedule). There's a community yard sale happening Saturday in our area.
Plus, a family picnic on Monday, along with celebrating my father's 69th Birthday.FUN!
But, here is a good question; Do we remember why we celebrate memorial day?
According to SoftSchool, "memorial day facts," Originally Memorial Day was known as Decoration Day, meant to honor the Union and the Confederate soldiers who died during the American Civil War. By the 1900s it had become a day to celebrate all American soldiers who died while serving in the military. It wasn't until 1967 that it was legally named Memorial Day.
So, remember the fallen, my friends.
Also, don't forget to be safe this weekend.
Have a good rest of the week and a good weekend.
Let me know how it all turned out. Or if you have any special ideas to share. Would love to hear them.
