In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Memorial Day is also the "unofficial" start of the Summer!!! Together with our pals Gracie and Sammy, we are hosting a Memorial Day Cookout!!
If you're here in time for breakfast, please enjoy this bacon and egg casserole!
and some French Toast with tasty mouse sausage!
If you're thirsty, enjoy a cold beverage...
We have lots of great noms....hot dogs, burgers and chick-hen!
Come join us at the picnic table....
Make sure you wait a bit after you eat, but join us in the pool....the water is FINE!!!
Please stop by Gracie's blog and Sammy's blog.....the party continues there. Raz and Pete's famous fish fry truck is even at Sammy's!!
We've been partying at Sammy's all morning. We think we'll stay here for a while and take a dip in the pool. Mau is sending Allie all his love and a bazillion smoochies. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Thanks for more fun! We just came from Sammy's Pawty and are heading to Gracie's now that we have had some great noms and cooled off in the pool. Thanks so much for remembering those who are and have served. Timmy, Miss Fitz and Family
Lovely tribute for those lost serving our great country. Loved the Jib Jab. We sure know how to sing and dance. Happy Memorial Day to you and your folks.

The Flanders Field poem always moves us. We can understand how Beins feel when leaving this world fer their Bridge.
