***UPDATED 4/29/23***   In memory of our father GySgt Walter Irving Arnold 1931-1973 Memorial Day -  Monday, May 29, 2023   Memorial Day is an American holiday. Observed on the last Monday of May. We honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.   Originally known as Decoration Day, it became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many visit cemeteries or memorials, hold family gatherings, and participate in parades around this great land.  You can find the history here on History.com .  Veterans Day and Memorial Day both honor those who've served. Here's how they differ, NPR.org     Memorial Day  by Annette Wynne  Is it enough to think today Of all our brave, then put away The thought until a year has sped? Is this full honor for our dead? Is it enough to sing a song And deck a grave, and all year long Forget the brave who died that we Might keep our great land proud and free? Full service needs a gre...

Name of restaurant: Craft and Craft Pizza Tavern in Remington, Virginia Date of visit: Thursday,  April 21, 2022 Star rating:  ⭐ ⭐  ⭐ ⭐ out of 5 We recently had lunch together at the Craft and Crust Pizza Tavern located at  204 East Main Street, Remington, Virginia 22734. We arrived around 11:45 thinking we’d beat the lunch crowd.  It's a fairly new restaurant and seems to have been widely accepted in the community by their Facebook page. They serve brick oven pizza, along with antipasti, subs, salads, and a kid's menu. Also, local craft beer.  When we arrived at the location, the parking was readily available on the street. I’m sure on the weekends that would be a problem as the parking on the street is minimal. They have outdoor seating in the front of the building for those who want to enjoy eating outside. CCPT takes up one-half of the building and I believe they are working on adding an extra dining area in the vacant half of the building.   We wa...
