Awww Mondays

Join us every Monday for Awww…Mondays.

Post a picture that makes you say Awww…and that’s it.

Make sure you leave a link to your post and I’ll visit your Awww…Mondays post.

What better way to start the week than with a smile.

Memorial Day

Nothing is sacred at our home. Zane is trying to put breakfast together and Lil’ Bit decided it was a good place to sit. She’s probably saying, “Did you put this paper plate out for me?”

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

      Great quip! And thanks for your kind words on Polly, Sandee. May all our fallen heroes rest in peace. May those currently in service stay safe, while anyone who struggles adjusting to civilian life get all the help they need and accept it with heads held high. Hugs and best wishes, my dear.
