    Well, my wife and I plan to go on our first nude hike of the season together. That, and go see the new Indiana Jones film. Otherwise, Im not really sure.

    We have a parade, which I'll probably photograph, as well as ceremonies at the local cemetery.



    The ceremony features the widows of fallen soldiers. The women dress in white and lay flowers on their husbands' graves. I have a photo from last year's ceremony in one of my photo albums on EP.

    Nothing much planned so far.  I'll probably end up at a cookout.

    Dance at our local powwow and enjoy family and friends.  Also join in the Ute Bear Dance activities and honor our warriors.  So we eat, dance, pray, talk, and have loads of fun.

    In Canada we call it Remembrance Day and it is in November.  HOWEVER, this weekend is Victoria Day, the generic date to celebrate the queen's birthday, and it's a long weekend.  We've had friends over, we're working in the garden, admired the arm-length trout in the river right now, went to a bonfire with the neighbours, their kids and everybody's dogs, and tonight it's a roast on the BBQ, and sitting around talking half the night.  Monday is expected to be quiet, but don't count on it!  Spontaneous things happen!

    Work, work, work...  Gotta keep the money rollin' in.  In between shifts, relaxing in the pool out back, grilling out, and spending time together as a family--no guests allowed (for a change).

    With gas now at $4.09 per Gallon?  Not going to the Lake for the weekend... How sad.  It was a tradition for years!   I'm determined to have a wonderful  time anyways!  We'll get with friends on Sunday for a Barbeque, then hang out w/family Monday.  I will honor those who bravely serve(d)  our country, while sending a message to those who are ruining it.   Noone I know is going to the Lake (3 1/2 hr. drive),  in protest of Gas Taxes here.   Hate to hit the local tourism earnings, but it's time to play ball!  New traditions can be wonderful, too- Right?? :)

    There is a Greek church festival that is held Memorial Day weekend every year that Mom & I go to.  Haven't heard about it this year, though.



    They have dancing, cooking classes, and a lot of great Greek food!
