Happy Presidents Day and Aw....Mondays

 

Happy Presidents Day for Aw...Mondays. I had to move our remaining flag to the backyard. The wind is so wild I do not want to risk losing it in these windstorms.  I need a new one for the backyard. When Hannah and Jake were here a few years ago he put up a new flag holder on the garage. I took our  tattered ole flag to Margaret Carpenter at the rec center where they have a special drop box for worn out flags.  The gentle souls at the VFW dispose of them properly and I am forever grateful for them all

Love is...has always told our story. I will always love this little comic meme. 

I do not have a musical bone in my body but I love music and I love dancing. Friday I had lunch with Colton and Jacey and the kids. They had to stop by their credit union to pick up some new ATM cards. Shea had fallen asleep so Harrison and I stayed in the car with her. He shared some of his favorite music with me. I made a playlist just for the two of us years ago when he was so very small.  I added his new music to that list. He always fell asleep to the song "Me and Magdalena" sang by the Monkees and written by Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie. We would be quite rebellious if a phone call came in from a spammer/hacker. I taught him the words to "We're Not Going to Take it Anymore" by Twisted Sister and would sing it loud and proud into the phone. Those spam callers eventually stopped. I guess they did not like our taste in music.  A few years ago, Jayden, another great grandson shared his music with me and I made a playlist for us. You can learn so much from the younger generation if you  are patient and listen to them. I treasure my loved ones. I love to be with them and I am so grateful both Avery and I were raised to around our loved ones. I know so many people who do not have close ties with loved ones. I have done this music share before but it came to me today so here we go again. Please join in if you would like.:
