365 WORDS...ONE WORD AT A TIME...MAY...WINDING DOWN!

Today of course is MEMORIAL DAY. Actually we are observing it today because this holiday like many others was moved to accommodate those who desired a long weekend. Memorial Day is on May 31 although even the calendars long since stop listing both observed and the traditional date. MEMORIAL DAY is considered the unofficial start of the Summer season. People head out of the cities and travel to other cities where they attend cookouts, parties, plunge into now open swimming pools, and crowd onto beaches. Others attend MEMORIAL DAY parades and lay flowers and wreaths and flags on the graves of the fallen. We, as people, are always finding clever ways to divert even somber holidays into a party atmosphere...smiles. Just remember the reason we have a MEMORIAL DAY holiday.
