Feeling patriotic? You should be! It seems summer brings out the best in pride for our nation. Memorial Day was in May, June 14th was Flag Day and July 4th is right around the corner! Red, white and blue is the theme for summer outdoor cookouts and parades. We love our country all year long, but especially during the summer when we get to relax and enjoy the great outdoors!

What impressed me though was her unprompted sending of thank you cards! What a proud mom I was when I noticed her writing thank yous before I even had a chance to suggest it. Of course, at an early age she was taught to write thank you cards for birthday and Christmas presents, often with constant reminding, but I was pleased to see she, on her own, realized that graduation presents called for this same courtesy. How about you? Do you and your children send thank you cards? A thank you doesn’t have to be just for gifts received. Thank you cards are great whenever a show of appreciation is called for. Set a good example and remember those deserving with a thoughtful greeting. It will bring a smile to you and to the lucky recipient as well as set a great example for your children!

Memorial Day is this Monday, May 25 and although most of us will get the day off from work, I suspect the majority will not necessary celebrate the day as it was intended- as a day of remembrance for those that served our country. So, here are some suggestions for honoring those that helped secure our freedoms: * Visit a cemetery and search for a headstone of someone who served in battle, leaving flowers in their honor. * Observe a moment of silence at 3 pm local time. * Wear something patriotic. * Display an American flag, flying it at half staff until noon. * Send patriotic Thank You Cards to someone who has served or is serving in the armed forces. Enjoy the holiday and remember those that have and are serving our country!
