HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!

Good Morning Foodies! As we all look at our calendars, we see that this coming weekend is MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! I know that is so easy to just get wrapped up the word HOLIDAY and not really pay attention to the true meaning of this date! I am sure that every one of us has a HEART THAT BEATS TRUE FOR THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE. We must stop and take a moment and remember that this HOLIDAY is paying tribute and remembering the people who died while serving in our country’s ARMED FORCES! It typically marks, the start of SUMMER VACATION SEASON. It is nice to know that some organizations put on programs to pay tribute to these brave souls. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, and many volunteers place the AMERICAN FLAGS on each grave in NATIONAL CEMETERIES.

Every day we turn on our televisions, read newspapers or hear on the radio, some sort of tragedy going on in the world. I need to tell myself every day, THAT I BELIEVE THERE IS GOOD IN THE WORLD! I like to believe that the best things in life are the PEOPLE we LOVE…the PLACES we have been…and the MEMORIES we make along the way! We cannot give up on HUMANITY!

I also hear horrible things said about our COUNTRY and what we stand for. I just want to tell these people, “TALKING NONSENSE IS NOT THE SAME AS FREEDOM OF SPEECH!”

In my final thoughts today on MEMORIAL DAY—I would say to all those BRAVE SOULS—“YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, BUT IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, ONCE IS ALL YOU NEED!” These people gave up their lives for us—so make your life WORTHWHILE and count your BLESSINGS!

KITCHEN WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, MAY 25TH! WILL BE BACK ON TUESDAY, MAY 26TH!

Have a safe and productive weekend!
