Hope everyone had an amazing Memorial Day!! Also, my hopes are that while you were spending time with family and making memories with friends that you remembered the true meaning of this holiday. I was watching a local News special last night where they asked people on the streets what Memorial day was. I was appalled by the answers. " A day for family time" "A day for the war" Those were just some of the answers. We need to thank a veteran or current officer any time we see them not just on this particular day. So, to all those who have or currently are serving our country thank you from the deepest part of my heart. Thank you for making all the cookouts and pool parties possible yesterday.
I actually spent my Memorial Day weekend in Chapel Hill celebrating my sisters birthday! Oh, how I love that area! We shopped in Cameron Village on Sunday where I found a Palm Avenue! I have only had the pleasure of shopping at the one in Charleston. They have furniture, Jack Rogers and so much more! I got a new dress I wore to my sister's birthday dinner for 30% off from the Spring line!! That night we dined at an Italian restaurant below a hotel downtown. It was delicious! Monday, though, had to be my favorite, we got to spend the day with our fellow DAR members. The parade started that morning followed by a meet and greet with the Veterans. I loved hearing all their stories!! I may just have met some of the wisest men and women that day. The DAR is such a blessing in my life!
What am I doing today? Sitting behind my desk at the boutique with a Coke and pop tart waiting for a lovely lady to come buy a beautiful dress! It can be the best yet most boring job! But, I love it! I'm supposed to get a call from Charlotte later this week! Cross your fingers!
Have a blessed day in the home of the red, white and blue! God bless America!
