Memorial Day is approaching. May I suggest a moment or more to acknowledge, thank, and celebrate those who have paid the ultimate price for the freedoms and opportunities that we have.
"Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic." -- General Logan - May 5, 1868
Guilty am I to first consider it is as 3-day weekend and begin to plan for outdoor activities and adventures. Every family who has lost a member to any of the wars or the non-wars, skirmishes, battles, no doubt, holds every day in thankfulness as well as grief and sadness.
One way to be grateful - thank someone who has served, or who is serving now in the military. Let them know their service is appreciated. Thank a policeman, thank a fireman thank a nurse a Dr. take the day to be grateful that we are able to openly speak, openly live our lives as small or as large as we choose. Our lives are about choice, and to this day choice is still alive and well.
Regards, cheers and congratulations to the Syracuse Gang who graduated this year. Thank you for all of your gracious comments and sharing with others your successes and challenges. Best wishes as you go forward and pursue many different endeavors. Please don't hesitate to continue checking in. This is truly a family and a community. Cheers!!!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
Today is a day to celebrate mothers. It might be considered international women's day as even if a person has not given birth, each woman has likely nurtured, cared for and been an example for children perhaps without knowing it.
Some examples are likely not ones that are beneficial for children to emulate. If we sit at the table to eat and converse, children will follow. If we say please and thank you - children will follow. If we eat our vegetables - well, we eat our vegetables. That is still an area of challenge with some children and adults.
Dad's please consider today an opportunity to show your children how to be nice to their mom's and others also. Mom's please take this opportunity to say thank you to your children, as without them we would not be moms. Then, perhaps share yourself with someone else, an example for our children to help others.
And, Thomas the Train in Medina continues to be about the family. Think Thomas is there again today - the weather is beautiful - the zoo - a park, a playground - a nap. After church today for this Nana - there is a plan. And, spending it with those I love and loving others as I go.
Happy Mother's Day!!!!
