Time To Visit With Dear Friends... 5/28/2012
Remember - The story of America's quest for freedom is inscribed on her history in the blood of her patriots. ~Randy Vader
Quotation To Remember: I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. ~Benjamin Harrison
No doubt about the theme
A sea of red, while, and blue
Tom gives his "Theme Approval" gesture
We hardly have room for the food
It's an outdoor candle.... Not a roman candle
Donna and Bob joined the fun....
The bear was enjoying the celebrations

When the US Army was called up, Bob danced all the way to the bandstand

A patriotic Mickey Mouse
Patriotic snowman???
