the 3 day is here!
well.. the county fair is being held at this old amusement park nearby called 'oaks park' that we've wanted to go to.. so we may hit that tomorrow if the weather's ok.. never been to a county fair.. especially somewhere where they actually do have animals, unlike down in la..
i was such a city kid when i first saw a real pig on a visit to missouri i almost caused bdhp to drive off the road because of my "oh my god!" reaction.. i always thought pigs were about the size of a dog.. this one was the size of a volkswagon!
anyway, then sunday we have to go see 'pirates at world's end'
no plans for this memorial day.. we visited all the cemeteries last year for relatives that served.. left flowers & flags..
not many out this way.. some of bdhp's uncles & such..
on my side, my dad lost 3 brothers in france.. i can't imagine what that must've felt like for their father?!
i also had a great aunt who was a nurse/p.o.w. at corregidor..
on my side of the family they go all the way back to the revolutionary war.. a member of continental congress..
the dixie side in the civil war! ha ha..
too far to visit now..
but we remember, which is what's important, huh?
have a nice long weekend, everybody!!
'specially you, pete!
