Interactive Family Reading...

How long has it been since you've explored the wisdom of Aesop's Fables?

For me and my family, it has been too long! Sooo... We have decided to re-read these incredible writings together! I truly cherish the discussions that are brought on by these pre-1700 stories! This is absolutely priceless family time!

Happy Reading!!!

How Do You Observe Memorial Day?

The "Memorial" in Memorial Day has been ignored by too many of us! While I am all for getting family and friends together to BBQ and participate in outdoor games/activities, we do not observe the day as it should be, a day where we actively remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice!

Sooo... Today, observe Memorial Day by:
* visiting cemeteries & placing flags/flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes.
* visiting memorials.
* flying the U.S. Flag at half-staff until noon.

God Bless Our Military!
