Memorial Day Weekend and organizing

It seems I could take this time to discuss the great opportunity you might have to start organizing. I mean, with the extra day off (for most of us) it seems like it might be a great time to get in there and get those problem areas cleaned out. Especially if you are here in the Pacific Northwest where it is raining today. Instead, I'm going to keep it short and sweet. Put your flag out if you have one. If you don't, get one. Really. We should all take a moment to be so incredibly grateful that we live here in the United States. Just consider the alternatives. We may or may not agree with all that is going on in the world but I think we can all agree that we owe our freedom to everyone who has given the ultimate sacrifice. Okay, enough of the soap box. Put the flag out. Really.

For those of you who have read to the end, here is an Ava-ism (my 6 year old daughter's mixture of words and meanings). We went to a cemetery yesterday to help my son's cub scout troop put flags on graves. While we were searching for the marks of a serviceman or woman, Ava noticed crosses on many of the tombstones. She asked if "cheesus" was buried there. We explained, no, cheesus is in heaven with God.
