Memorial Day
Is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.

With Memorial Day fast approaching, I have been thinking about how we will celebrate the holiday. I love to bring out the red, white and blue and reflect on those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our amazing country.
I love displaying the American Flag
I am not sure if we will have a house full or if it will be just a table for two. I pulled up some photos to share of past celebrations from my photo library.
Of course there will be lots of flowers
And fun vignettes
And Food!
We love grilling
Jim loves to cook out, I love for Jim to cook out!
Baby back ribs
Or a great burger!
Southern Sides
Homemade ice cream
And just in, fresh peaches for making peach cobbler
So, do tell, what will you do to celebrate Memorial Day weekend?
Heartfelt thanks for those serving in the military, past and present.
Thank you for stopping by, I love and appreciate your visits.
