There's plenty to debate and bicker about lately, let's take a breath and put it in perspective.  Memorial Day weekend is always a time as a family we take off from sports, events and other distractions and enjoy family time.  Sunday night is usually around a campfire and honoring the spirit of the holiday..  We'll be at Lake Cushman fishing, a little hiking and flying the flag high at our friends cabin. 

To all those who have publicly served and/or served in the military, thank you for your service!!  I'll be tilting a few back in your honor and appreciation.  Enjoy your families this weekend everyone

I'll have the flag out at my cabin up the Twisp River - it'll be just my bride and I but we'll enjoy an outside fire, reading a book on the back porch and rocking on the porch swing. Maybe even get up a game of horseshoes. Be safe and drive careful.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

I'll be working Saturday and Sunday. I visit the Ft. Vancouver National Cemetery each year on Memorial Day and walk the graves for a bit to keep present to the privileges those men and women have secured for me. Never forget.
