We are a military family. To us, Memorial Day has never been just a day off to a picnic. It is a day to reflect and to remember.

Leaving A Stone Part I
Back in November Mr. Décor, Sweet Boy and I traveled to Washington D.C. to visit my dear cousin L and her wonderful family. While making our “must-see” list there was one place on the top of Mr. Décor’s list~ Arlington National Cemetery. Leaving A Stone Part I. We of course went to see the tomb of the unknown soldier.

The Good Samaritan

Wearing Green and White at the Wigwam
The beautiful Wigwam Resort is located practically in my backyard. It is a lovely getaway favored by the rich, famous and me. Every Sunday they host a local farmer’s market on the grounds of the front lawn. Occasionally I stop by after church since it is right up the street. It was a warm day so I was thankful to be wearing a lightweight green cotton voile blouse I found at Goodwill for $3.00. The white skirt came from Anthro last summer. It was also at a deep discount.
