Remember and Honor

The 150th day of 2022 is Memorial Day.  Memorial Day is one of those interesting holidays.  We get a day off of work, which is nice.  It's weekend is the unofficial start of the Summer season, and we usually see friends or otherwise find a way to relax, which we did today with our good friends, the Greenbergs (for the second May 30th in a row!)  But 5/30/2022 is also a time for reflection.  And for my two for 2022 for tonight, to Remember and Honor.  Most of you who know me well know that I am NOT a fan of war, or aggression, or fighting.  But I will always Honor and Remember those who have lost their lives in the line of battle, protecting and serving their country so that the ways of our society can be preserved.  I think that support is universal and, if it is not, it should be.  So, tonight, I do Remember and Honor those who have lost their lives in defense of their country.  And, of course, their families, friends, and communities who have also sacrificed.  And I pray for no more loss, and no more war, and pray for peace so that no other lives need to be lost and no other family. friends, nor community need to sacrifice in this manner.

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
