Last Monday in May

It's Memorial Day and the dust is flying. Though today is the holiday, the big celebration is two days away when my youngest daughter and her husband arrive from Seattle. There has been more cleaning than usual going on here.

One of the things I found in my dustings and scrubbings was an American flag. There's no pole to fly it from, though, so I'm thinking of hanging it out the window (after I figure out which way to arrange it).

As I do, I'll be thinking of my favorite veteran (my dad), all who've served, and all who are no longer with us. I wish we could all be together on this last Monday in May.
