Memorial Day and Anniversary

A few things to remember tomorrow. It is our 46th wedding anniversary tomorrow. Wow! Long time.
And Memorial Day. Time to remember all the men and women who served for our country in all of the wars. And, let's not forget the unpopular war in Viet Nam when our soldiers came home to be greeted by protesters. It must have been terrible to fight in a war that they didn't volunteer and to come home to jeered, mocked and called names. God Bless America and God Bless all of our enforcements, Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guards and the Reserves.
God Bless all of the families of those that died. God Bless all of the troups that returned with injuries, not only to their bodies but to their minds. It's a hard life for them to live. But, ask one of them and they'll tell you it was worth it. Again, God Bless America!

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! The celebration in Dallas was postponed because of the flu. A lot of people took the day off from work for it!

It's a wet day today. I took my friend Mary to have her eyes operated on. We went to McKinney. I dropped her off. She would call me after the surgery. They postponed her surgery until next week. Two postponements.

Shopping Can Be a Deadly Experience!

This morning in the Dallas Morning News has an article about two dads fighting over a toy for their kids. Both guys were so mad they shot and killed each other! Now that's bad. Neither kid will get the toy. I see a cute cartoon in this situation. Two guys pulling and tugging at a toy and there is another man watching the whole thing. The angry guys in the tug-a-war finally pull out guns and shoot each other. The spectator picks up the toy, walks to the check out with a smile on his face and says to the checkout girl. "Well, this shopping on the day after Thanksgiving isn't so bad. I got a great gift for my kid with no trouble at all".

Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is almost here!

Time goes so fast! Great Thanksgiving! Even though I had a horrible cold and couldn't taste anything. And now the Christmas rush has started. Jamie had to go to work at 3:00am and had to go outside in the rain to pass out cologne samples to the people waiting in line that were there early to get the sales items. People sure are crazy when it comes to shopping. Probably why I stay in the house all day the day after Thanksgiving.
