It seems like Spring has taken forever to arrive in the upper plains but now we have the beautiful green grass, blooming trees and hardy perennials are making an appearance. However, it is hard to believe that Memorial Weekend is here. Summer unofficially starts!
​
While we all enjoy summer, let's pause and remember all those who have served and given their lives so that we can enjoy the everyday things like grilling, playing ball and spending time at the lakes with family and friends. I use this time to remember my ancestors and beloved family members.

Here's a brief history on Memorial Day from the National Park Service.
