Memorial Day Tribute

Image
Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.  Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings, and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season. Cities and towns across the United States host Memorial Day parades each year, often incorporating military personnel and members of veterans’ organizations. Some of the largest parades take place in  Chicago ,  New York,  and  Washington, D.C. GY SGT Walter I. Arnold We would like to introduce you to our father GY SGT Walter I. Arnold.

Hey everyone! We have the privilege of having a guest blogger today. Kayla is Rhonda's business assistant and a very good one at that. She wanted to try her hand at writing a blog post with a baking review and we happily obliged. If you enjoyed this post, please leave a comment below. 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 Kayla’s Test Kitchen While scrolling Facebook, I came across a post from a bakery about lemondoodles. Now, maybe you’re like me and your first thought was what the heck is a lemondoodle and why do I think I need it?

What brings you joy???

***Updated 4/29/23*** I've been thinking lately about what brings me joy. We all go through trials in our lives and I believe that during the struggle we can find a blessing and joy. Here are a few things that bring me JOY: My Lord as Savior is the foremost JOY in my life. If it wasn't for him giving me life and victory to fight the good fight, I don't know where I'd be today.

My grandchildren are just the icing on the cake with a big old JOY on top. I love them to the moon and back. What's the saying, "If I had known grandchildren were this much fun I would have had them first". My dog Baxter is a wo...
