Happy Memorial Day!
This day we remember the men and women of our armed forces who have died in the line of duty.
It also marks the beginning of summer for many, so as we observe this Federal holiday, we are enjoying extra special time with family.
This weekend, my parents returned from their extended vacation to Sydney, Australia and Jakarta, Indonesia, so we had a nice lunch with this this afternoon.
We were traveling back from Sydney on by brother's actual birthday, so quite an extended day for us. It was May 11th for about 39 hours!! Anyway, we actually celebrated it yesterday by taking advantage of IKEA's Eat for Free promotion over this holiday weekend - eat at the cafe and deduct your receipt from your purchase of home furnishings over $100. We also got Allen a gift card for IKEA, one of his favorite stores. Needing frames for aboriginal art we brought back from Australia, and necessities such as lamps, coat hangers, paring knives, etc, we had a blast shopping!
We were planning to go bike riding this weekend, but my bike is being serviced, so Paul took Abby riding along Plum Creek trail, which runs right in front of our community through downtown, Castle Rock, while Kayleigh and I went on a 2.5 hour walk around the neighborhood.
Kayleigh and I picked some wildflowers along the way for Abby, which grow throughout our aptly named community, The Meadows.
