Life Is Good

Well, how is your weekend going?  Happy Memorial Day!!

I couldn't sleep last night, but I got to sleep in late.  I did some housework, and I plan on driving down to visit my dad's grave today.  He was a Korean War veteran, and he always made a point of paying respect to our veterans.  I will more than likely visit my uncle, who was a WWII veteran, and of course, see my brother---may be my grandparents--may be not--that may be a little too overwhelming.  A visit to the cemetary is always a little emotional for me.  Anyway, if you see a veteran out there, or someone in active military, give them a hug (if they let you.)  I've hugged my hubby already, and fortunately, my niece Kassandra is back from home from Italy.  I saw her yesterday at a barbecue birthday party at my brother's house.  It's nice to see her home.  Her next stop is Alaska.  Well, at least it's closer!

May was a hectic, stressful month; but I think everything is going to be okay.  I'm looking foward to June--graduations and birthdays.  My son Andrew is graduating the 8th grade this year, and is also celebrating a birthday--the big 14.  He is counting the days.  He is excited about gifts (of course).  I also have a nephew and niece graduating from high school.  Busy...busy...busy...  Oh, and soccer season is starting..

 I saw the above commercial on ESPN when hubby was watching Nascar..  I love it!!  I can't wait to see the Portuguese "dance" again!!  :)
