Happy Memorial Day

One Saturday morning over the winter, I stood on a downtown street corner holding this little flag as the motorcade came through town honoring a young local serviceman who was arriving back home for his burial. As we enjoy the holiday today, I also want to pause to pray and reflect on those who've given the ultimate sacrifice for our country, and to the families and friends they've left behind. May God Bless America, and I wish a safe and Happy Memorial Day to you all!

(Tea-related tidbit: Put a plastic baggie inside an old tea tin, pour water inside, and you can use the tin as a floral container without it rusting!)

    Sad to hear about that young man. Hmm, many thanks to all the servicemen and women. I hope they know how grateful most of us are. Lovely posting.
    You are so cute. You worked your "tea" in there with that great idea. Looks perfect.

    Nice arrangement. I see flowers in teatins, but just don't ever remember to do that. Thanks for the reminder.
