VWL Groupies...yes, we love the Lodge!!

A Blessed Memorial Day! And a huge thanks to all that have served and are currently serving our country.

I'm spending the day flipping between wartime movies, the Band of Brothers marathon and French Open tennis. I haven't seen the movie you suggested Muushka but will keep an eye open for it.

We're back from our Alaskan cruise/nephews wedding. Just beautiful! We were very lucky with the weather and had a great time. Glad to be home with all our furry boys though.

Now it's time to get ready for my Birthday trip to VGC. The Carsland opening will be going on so I expect it will be a mad house!! DL sure does like to celebrate my birthday! WOC a couple of years ago and now Carsland and the grand reopening of DCA! I'd be perfectly happy if they would start picking someone else's birthday week for these things though.

Not for me. There are several threads that I have not clicked on that are not bold. Plus, the bolded ones are always about the top 1/3 of the page and the rest (unbolded) are the bottom 2/3. And on mine, when I have click on it, it will change color. So there are different color bold threads and different color unbolded threads.

The bolded ones are ones that are new or have new posts since the last time you signed on. If you are online for a long time the boards may also update the time your last checked so they can go non-bolded but that's usually if you've left your browser open on the DIS and come back to it.

This Memorial Day is special for our family. My son has been deployed in Afghanistan for a year and just returned to the states last Monday night!! It has been a very hard year and have truly come to know first hand the sacrifices our troops are making for us. God Bless Our Troops!!

How wonderful that your son is home, safe and sound following his tour! Our thanks to him and all service men and women for their gallantry, courage and selflessness.

Thanks Eliza for sharing the pics of your dad and his commendation. We'll remember him too this Memorial Day holiday.

Moose dust for Corinne and Jimmy: Corinne that your wait list comes through and Jimmy for your continued progress toward good health!

And last, but not least
Happy Anniversary Twokats!
I hope you're enjoying your day soaking up some sun!

Love those plans! I will pay attention to what I have read and what is new, but your suggestion (about my ?) makes sense!

Thanks for sharing that pic of your Dad. Quite an honor, earning the Silver Star. My Dad was in Korea too.

Our daughter and her boyfriend(who is taking basic training soon)went to our county Memorial Days service today and told me that 306 names from this past year were read that had passed, mostly WWII vets.

Not to make light of this day, but I chuckle when I tell this. An employee of ours picks on me when I with pride speak of our family's duty when called to military service. I told him about my GGGG Grandpa being in the American Revolution, how my G Grandpa and my GG Grandpa were in the Civil War, how my grandfather was in WWII in France, my uncle was in the Battle of the Bulge, participated in surrender of German forces and liberating France, attended Pattons funeral, and how my father was in the Korean War. Then our employee turns to me and says, you people cant get along with anybody, can you!!

The old guy is about 2 steps away from banning me from watching that movie. I'm a babbling mess by the end of it. love it though.

If you guys have hbo on demand, you can order it any time. Kevin Bacon was great it that.

Anyhoo,
Some memorial day pics. My pop!
