Hey hey and happy Memorial Day weekend!
There’s something I look forward to every Memorial Day. Sure, the three-day weekend is great, and having a genuine reason to celebrate with delicious dishes and festive frivolity is a bonus. But what I look forward to the most is the annual appearance of a special veteran flanked by his American flags who stands on the overpass down the street. Starting early in the morning and going until late afternoon, he proudly stands at attention and salutes the cars that fly by below him at 70 miles per hour. His pride and devotion are a heartfelt reminder of the true reason to celebrate Memorial Day. To those who have served or are serving our country, and especially those who have sacrificed their lives for our country, we owe a huge debt of thanks to you and your families. And to that soldier on the bridge, listen for me honking as I drive by. I’ll be cheering you on.
But first, let’s get into this week’s list of Friday Faves.
