Memorial day 2010

Where does time go? I'm asking myself that question more often as I get older. It literally seems only a few short months ago we were celebrating Memorial day at Jim and Becky's new house. Now I'm getting salads ready to go to their house again to swim, BBQ, etc. It's Memorial day 2010. School is not yet out around here but the natives are restless none the less. I think that their teacher is probably the most ready but they might want to debate me on that.
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank and give honor to all the men and women who are now or have ever served this country. You are willing to give the ultimate sacrifice on our and our country's behalf, and for that we thank you. We thank your families who you leave behind here. Families who pray for you and wait for your safe return. We thank them too. We could not enjoy the freedom we have in this country without your service and dedication. So we thank you today and we are grateful to you everyday. May God continue to bless and protect you. May you receive the reception you have earned when you return home. May it be soon.
Happy Memorial day !

It always has a beginning...

I have been wanting to do this for quite sometime. I still don't have time to devote to this, but here I go anyway. I'm not sure where this will go or for how long. But all things have beginnings, and today is Mommy Duck blog's start. So, with that I will close my opening blog. I hope to see you soon. Blessings from mommy duck.
